My friend's Father purchased this VINTAGE "Silver Tone Engraved Etched Cursive Script Initial Letter L Monogram Small Oval Unisex Men Women Boy Girl Tie Bar Clip" in the late-1950s. Purchased to wear for a College Formal in 1959, he wore this Tie Clip on occasion through the mid-1990s when it was packed away and forgotten about. Recently rediscovered, it has been safely and securely stored. With age appropriate wear that can be buffed out, there is NO damage to the clip which works smoothly and holds securely; it comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home. Oval in shape, it measures approximately 7/8ths of an inch long and approximately 5/8ths of an inch wide; under the Clip it is Marked "Swank". This is a VERY NICE Mid Century Modern Tie Clip that was fashioned with expert craftsmanship. Handsomely designed, this Tie Clip is sure to give you complete satisfaction. Quite HANDSOME with a simple Etched Engraved Script Letter Initial Monogram "L", the design is ELEGANT. This FABULOUS Tie Clip is BEAUTIFULLY crafted for a look that is SIMPLE yet SLEEK SOPHISTICATED. PERFECT for a daily wear, a Wedding, a Prom or other formal occasion, it can also be repurposed or used for a Steampunk accent with its FANCY "L" engraved in the center. An EXCELLENT addition to any wardrobe with its subtle sense of style, this is a timeless CLASSIC.
