Pawn shop cufflinks

[tamrock]

I found these in a pawn shop yesterday on the road. They didn't want to come down on their price of $24.95, so I gave $26. and some change with the tax and all. I knew who made them, as I've had one other pair before made by this same maker Hans Hansen of Denmark. Those I got for around $7.00 and sold for a $110.00. Vintage Scandinavian jewelry is something I always keep an eye out for. Checking the sales history I'm sure I can get over a $100.00 for these and maybe more. The sold prices on HH cuffs is running between $80.00 to $250.00 on eBay and many are asking of buy now prices of around $250.00 to $300.00. My favorites to find in Scandinavian silver is the Georg Jensen stuff. They always sell well.

Nice. This falls into the category of "when to pay more than spot price for silver".

I just put em on the scale and found I paid a bit over twice the value in spot silver. Together they weigh 24.2 grams. Kind of a hefty pair of cuffs. If you notice how these are constructed with the curved flat bar and toggle type back button, that's a clue in spotting higher end danish made cufflinks. I have seen cufflinks from makers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all made with that same style of bar and toggle button. When I see cuffs made like that I always ask to see them.
