Vtg Schreiner Purple Maltese Cross Pin Brooch Pendant 22" Necklace Set Exceptional find for your Schreiner collection Amazing necklace with the pendant converting into a pin brooch! This piece is unsigned...but...I had it verified by a Shreiner family member. Below is our conversation: "Becky; yes, it is one of ours. Once we started using Lucite in the late 60s my dads creations got huge, since it was lighter than all glass. We didn't use earlier plastics since they scratched so badly. Once high quality Lucite started coming out of Germany, we used a lot of them. Our turtle pin in a good example. There must be 10, 000 of them out there, since he sold so well, and was easy to produce. Only time consuming part was the spring for the head, needed to be soft soldered." Necklace Length: 22" Chain style is twisted foxtail Pendant dangle size is 4 1/2" long x 3 1/2" wide Those larger purple teardrop accents are from Germany (per my conversation with the Schreiner family above) and made of quality lucite. They started using such in the late 1960's. The other rhinestone purples and clears are glass.

About me, the seller: For those of you who don't know me, here's a an update: My son Jake completed his 4 year College degree with a Bache lor of Science, major of percussion performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2015. The gratification of being able to do such a momentous task without saddling my son with a huge student loan at the end is truly gratifying. Now with tuition payments behind us, my home equity loan paid off, I can now start on helping him off his small student loan.... Since graduating he has toured across the US with a couple local bands. Joined a Cruise Line Orchestra...traveled throughout Asia, Europe & South America In February 2019 he relocated from Boston out to North Hollywood CA...doing all he can to make it in his passion of music on Take a look if you're curious! Things were going well...until the world of performance entertainment came to a halt early in 2020. Still engaging in electronic and virtual work, he is making ends meet...barely...and is hoping this COVID pandemic is over soon and his music career can get back on track! Me? I've been doing Flea Marketing and Antiquing ever since I was in my 20's, and my love for the search has helped me complete this seemingly impossible journe y. My eBay store is called Ziggy's Vault. Ziggy is my Quaker Parrot who was a rescue from a broken home and I found him at a flea market during spring of 2010. He has quite a vocabulary now with "Good Morning" and "Hello" topping the repeat over and over list. We've now added "Love you" and "No..No..no!" to the conversation :-) Anyways...I mostly list jewelry...vintage unusual jewelry How did I acquire it???? I got my initial stash of stuff back in the 70's and 80's when my mom Helen & I used to go flea marketing, and antique hunting together. Oh, every Thursday was garage sale day, and we'd go off and spend lots of quality time together. Saturday's and Sundays we hit the flea markets and antiques shows. Mom is now is gone, but I have all our treasures...and there are boxes and boxes of them. They are all in my crawl space, and I've been taking out and discovering treasures I never even knew I had! Why? Well.... Mom used to always tease me that out mother-daughter hobby would become my "inheritance" and that it would make me wealthy. You know...I've been doing this now for over 8 years...and I still have boxes and boxes of untouched undiscovered treasures. It's like going down memory lane when I dig & photograph! Yes, I'm still digging out old boxes out, but, I'm also picking up new pieces weekly from local resale/flea markets/antique shows in NE Ohio....so, when you see "newer" pieces....that's where they are coming from. So...there you have it! I'm not so sure of the wealthy part selling it on eBay, but it's a piece of the financial puzzle that made it possible for my son to attend the College of his dreams one sale at a time! ~Becky
