Stieff Steiff 1972 Smithsonian Sterling Silver Gabriel Angel Ornament Pendant
1972 Stieff Smithsonian Sterling Gabriel Angel Xmas Ornament Pendant. Extremely Hard To Find Gabriel Angel Sterling Ornament / Pendant made by Stieff for the Smithsonian Institute in 1972 is in very nice vintage condition. Angel Romance card shown in first photo is included in this listing. Made by The Stieff Company for the Smithsonian Institution in 1972, this representation of the 1883 Archangel Gabriel weather vane is from the Institute's collection. Gabriel was a familiar sight signaling wind direction in late nineteenth century America.
Although an original romance card says this is silver and bears the familiar castle mark, the castle has defied detection. This is stamped sterling, however it is so faint it can barely be seen even under magnification.
It measures 4 7/8 inches long, and 1 5/8 inches tall including the hang ring. There is no original box included. Any gold tones or spots you see are the result of poor photography. There is no damage on this, but may exhibit faint scratches consistent with use and polishing. As with all vintage silver, may require proper polishing upon receipt depending on your preferences.
If by some small chance your item is not satisfactory, your return should still be received within 7 days or less.
