Swank made these mid-century vintage cuff links and tie clip in the 1960s. The oval mod silver-tone set is lightly etched with a simple design. The matte or brushed, textured is accented with two curved triangles in opposite corners. A great vintage set to add to your collection!
Swank was founded in 1897 in Attleboro, MA, and originally specialized in men‘s and women‘s costume jewelry. During WWI, they switched to manufacturing dog tags, and post-war, they decided only to make men‘s accessories.
The set is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The most noticeable signs are on the back of the cuff links and the toggles. There are typical fine scratches and marks from use. The back of all three pieces are marked Swank and are silver-tone metal. The clip and toggles are fully functional. There is a small "scuff" on the front of one cuff link.
The cuff links measure 1-1/16" wide and 1/2" tall; the tie clip is 1-5/16" wide and 1/4" tall. The cuff links weigh 14.21 grams, and the clip is 3.20 grams.
I try to show an accurate picture of the item in my photographs and the written description. Please note the size given in the description, as photographs can often look bigger than the actual object.
