At 3 3/4” long, these earrings make a dramatic, oversized "shoulder-duster" statement. Combined with a substantial total weight of 11.8 grams, they carry a great premium over smaller versions of the same style.

Value Analysis Based on Specs

* The Scale Premium: Because of their substantial size, they appeal directly to collectors searching for bold Mexican Modernist statement jewelry.
* The Weight Profile: At roughly 5.9 grams per individual earring, they fall right into the ideal "sweet spot" for statement jewelry—heavy enough to showcase a thick gauge of genuine sterling silver, yet just light enough to be comfortably worn without weighing down the earlobes.
* Scrap Silver Baseline: Purely as raw metal, 11.8 grams of 925 sterling silver contains roughly $8 to $11 in melt value depending on fluctuating market spot prices. Because they are complete, functional vintage works of art, their collectible jewelry value is roughly ten times that baseline.
* Hallmarks: Stamped 925, MEXICO, and Registration Code TR-116
* Total Weight: 11.8 Grams (Pair)
* Drop Length: 3 3/4 inches (From top of ear hook to bottom of longest dangle)
* Design Style: Mid-Century Modernist / Minimalist Wispy / Layered Kinetic Mobile
* Closure: Wire Ear Hooks

Breakdown of the Hallmarks

925: This is the fineness or purity stamp. It guarantees that the piece is Sterling Silver, which consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (usually copper) for durability.

MEXICO: This clearly indicates the country of origin where the silver item was manufactured.

TS92 (or similar letter-number combination): This follows the modern Mexican alphanumeric registration system adopted around 1979/1980. It breaks down into three distinct identifiers:T (First Letter): Represents the location of the government assay office where the silversmith registered their business.
T stands for Taxco, Mexico's world-famous historical silver capital.
S (Second Letter): This is the first letter of the silversmith's or company's surname.
92 (The Numbers): This indicates that this artist was the 92nd silversmith with a last name starting with "S" to officially register in Taxco's registry.

Because thousands of independent silversmiths operated small family workshops (talleres) in Taxco during this period, most individual registration numbers correspond to unlisted or anonymous local artists.

The price of these earrings is $125.

The items shown are classic pieces of commercial restaurant ware manufactured by Shenango China in New Castle, Pennsylvania in the 1930’s-40”s

The mark on the bottom refers to Shenango's iconic Native American logo. This specific design features a kneeling Native American figure crafting a clay pot near a fire, accompanied by the text "Shenango China, New Castle, PA, USA". This particular backstamp variation was widely used by the company from the 1930s through 1948.
* Interior Creases / Ribbing: The distinctive "creases" or indentations inside the bowl are an intentionally molded architectural feature common to specific historical lines of heavy-duty restaurant ware, such as their patented RimRol or scalloped commercial designs. These thick, molded features provided added structural integrity, making the vitrified china less prone to chipping and breakage under the extreme duress of commercial dishwashers and high-volume institutional use.
* Pattern: This style features a timeless, minimalist aesthetic defined by clean green stripes running along the upper interior ridge, a highly recognizable hallmark of vintage American diner, hotel, and transit tableware
A pair of vintage green-striped Shenango restaurant ware bowls with the early Native American logo generally holds a combined # value $40 for the pair.

An excellent condition pair of these original Jennings Brothers "Awaiting the Prey" (model #1524) Art Deco bookends is generally valued between $150 and $400 depending on whether it’s a single or pair and condition on the antique market.

Value Breakdown
* Single Bookend vs. Complete Pair: Because bookends are highly preferred by collectors as a matching set, a single lone bookend drops significantly in value, typically selling for $70 to $130 depending on the venue.

For a complete pair, ( these are 100 years old) expect a $250-$400 price tag. These are 100 years old and they’ve managed to stay in pristine condition.

How to Define "Excellent" Condition

1. Original Patina: The gold-gilt or dark bronze finish must be intact with minimal rub-wear, especially on high-relief areas like the scout's hair braid or the dog’s back.
2. Structural Integrity: The metal casting must be entirely free of cracks, repairs, or chips to the rock base.
3. Legible Maker Marks: The incised stamps C. VIETH and JB 1524 on the back or bottom should be crisp and clearly legible. This pair meets those conditions.

This item is a collectible 1902 Indian Head Cent that has been fashioned into a piece of jewelry, a ring featuring a gold-toned braided bezel setting. Size is 7 1/2 to 7 3/4. Price is $35.

* Coin Details: The coin is a one-cent piece produced by the United States Mint from 1859 to 1909, designed by James Barton Longacre. ��
* Value: Because this coin is worn and has been altered for jewelry (bezel damage), its value is primarily as a sentimental or fashion item rather than a high-grade numismatic collectible. ��
* Composition: The original coin is comprised of 88% copper and 12% nickel, though it may be gold-plated for jewelry purposes. ��
* Historical Significance: This coin is over 125 years old. Indian Head Pennie’s are popular among collectors as a reminder of the "Old West"
* era.

Of all the pennies ever produced, the Indian Head style is one of the most popular, especially for collectors. These coins were minted just prior to the Civil War and continued being produced until shortly after the turn of the 20th century. The following few sections will discuss, in-depth, more about these coins as well as why they are so popular amongst collectors nowadays.

The design of the Indian Head Penny was the brainchild of James Longacre, the acting engraver of the US Mint. In a letter to the director of the US Mint James Snowden, Longacre made his case for his newly incepted design by saying:

“From the copper shores of Lake Superior, to the silver mountains of Potosi from the Ojibwa to the Aramanian, the feathered tiara is as characteristic of the primitive races of our hemisphere, as the turban is of the Asiatic. Nor is there anything in its decorative character, repulsive to the association of Liberty … It is more appropriate than the Phrygian cap, the emblem rather of the emancipated slave, than of the independent freeman, of those who are able to say “we were never in bo***ge to any man”. I regard then this emblem of America as a proper and well defined portion of our national inheritance; and having now the opportunity of consecrating it as a memorial of Liberty, ‘our Liberty’, American Liberty; why not use it? One more graceful can scarcely be devised. We have only to determine that it shall be appropriate, and all the world outside of us cannot wrest it fro.”

The reverse side of the Indian Head Penny is quite basic, and features a wreath surrounding the “one cent” face value. For the first two years of production, you will find this basic design on the reverse side, but by 1860 the coin’s reverse was updated. Though the wreath still partially encircled the “one cent” face value, a presidential seal was added to the top of the coin, and the wreath itself became a bit more intricate in its design.

For collectors, the Indian Head Penny is so popular not only because of the years in which it was minted, but also because of the historical significance this coin holds. Seeing as the first years of the Indian Head’s production fell just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, collectors see these pieces as a part of American history.
For that reason, you will find that many of the coins produced through the first ten years of the Indian Head’s existence sell nowadays for a much higher price than other editions.

Another aspect of these coins that makes them so popular is their age. It is very rare that coins are able to survive more than 125 years, and with many surviving in excellent condition, it is easy to see why collectors go head over heels for these pieces.

When it comes down to it, the popularity of Indian Heads varies from release to release. While some editions are extremely difficult to find, others exist in abundance. Almost always, you will find that the scarcest Indian Heads are those produced during the early years. These are the coins that are not only the most sought after, they are also the most expensive.
