We love searching for antique and vintage charms as you just never know what you're going to find next. Like this unusual large vintage gold toilet charm! Incredibly detailed througout, the lid and toilet seat are hinged and lift up and down separately too.
The charm is incredibly detailed throughout, with floral patterns all the way around. The toilet lid and seat lift up separately too and the lid even reads ‘SPEND A PENNY’ underneath!
The charm is made of 9ct gold and has British hallmarks for 9ct gold, the maker’s mark and date hallmark are not quite hard to read. From what we can see of the top of the date hallmark we think it could be ‘p’ for 1970.
The charm measures approx 19.3mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 16.3mm wide by approx 22.8mm deep. The charm is a fantastic large size and has a good weight to it of approx 7.65g, much heavier than a lot of vintage gold charms.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show signs of age and wear including some surface wear to the gold. When closed, the hinge of the toilet seat and lid does move from side to side a little and the seat and lid so lift up and down freely when the charm is worn. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
