Steampunk Miniature Bottle Necklace with vintage printer's type enclosed...

FEATURING

A GLASS BOTTLE WITH A CORK STOPPER (approx 3.75cm high including stopper)

ENCASING various pieces vintage printer's type - approx 5 or 6 but depends on the type...
The weight of the lead type prevents me from including more pieces in these.

The type comes from a chest of drawers that was bought in France. Each group of letters was wrapped in a piece of vintage newspaper dated 1927 so that gives you an idea of the minimum age of these pieces.

Such a unique gift for someone - perhaps a publisher, book lover, steampunk fan or lover of all thinks vintage & unusual.

Also wrapped around the neck of the bottle is a length of silver plated curb chain to which is also attached a tiny key charm ...

THIS IS SUSPENDED ON A SILVER PLATED CURB CHAIN via a pretty, ornate s/p bail (min 16 inches long) via a pretty, ornate s/p bail with a silver plated extension chain & little key charm to finish.

PLEASE NOTE - the cork is VERY securely stoppered in there with industrial strength glue AND varnished around the cork area for added security as the type is made from lead & so relatively heavy for its size...

*******

This gorgeous little gift will come to you ready to give (even if it is to yourself!) in a lidded box to prevent breakage.
