Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage Solid Brass Lady's Hand Letter Clip | Ruffled Cuff & Bow | Victorian Style Paper Clip | Wall Hanging or Desk | Dark Patina | 4.75"
A lady's hand to hold your letters. This vintage solid brass clip is shaped like a graceful hand with a ruffled cuff tied with a bow, and it snaps down on a spring to hold notes, recipes, photos or bills.
The back plate has a crosshatch pattern under the fingers and a hanging loop at the top, so it can go on a wall or a hook, or lie flat on a desk as a paperweight clip. Letter clips like this go back to Victorian desks, and this one carries on that style.
