Alva Studios Museum Replicas Reproduction Gold Nugget Watch Back Brooch Pin NR

Description: Here is a wonderful Alva Studios Museum Replica Gold Nugget Watch Back Pin or Brooch that looks like a large stylized gold nugget watch back. Marked on the back: Alva Studios Replicas. It is 1 3/8 inches across. It is an authorized, copyrighted reproduction in gold electroplated metal from the original in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, by Alva Museum Replicas, Inc. New York, NY. Gold Nugget Watch Back - American - 19th Century. This is a replica of the back of an ornate watch in yellow gold with gold nuggets applied to the case. The original watch is engraved inside with the message "A. W. Callen to his daughter E. E. Callen on the sixteenth anniversary of her birth, April nineteenth, 1886". The original watch and chain set was encrusted with gold nuggets and set with four rubies and a diamond. It was made for Anson Williber Callen, a Junction City, KS guide for expeditions going to Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada in search of gold. For payment, Callen received an interest in each mine located. The gold nuggets on this watch and chain are believed to have come from one of the mines that he helped discover. Quality craftsmanship. I do not think this was ever worn much. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or stains, well cared for. Will quickly ship USPS. Love to combine shipping. Thanks.History: Alva Studios, operated by Alfred Wolkenberg. Alfred was born in Vienna in 1911 and immigrated to the US in 1939. In 1948 he founded Alva Studios of Long Island City, NY. He had many artists and designers who were commissioned to produce reproductions of priceless ancient jewelry and sculpture. The pieces were marked Alva Museum Replicas and sold at famous museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art ( MMA ), Smithsonian Institute ( SI ), The Louvre, The Art Institute of Chicago, etc..My shipping price includes my actual postage cost as well as packing/handling cost (bubble wrap, boxes, tape, envelopes, etc.) with transportation to post office and my time. It entails more than the postage stamp amount when it arrives to you. Also note that I recycle materials as much as possible - saving the environment. All that being said I do try hard to be reasonable. Please leave feedback when the item is received, and I will do the same for you.
