Costume jewelry in 3 trays (the Twins Estate).

Several years ago the David Killen Gallery bought the contents of an apartment in the Parc Vendome, a fancy apt complex in NYC on 57th street.The apartment was remarkable, it was half filled from the floor to our waists in constume jewelry.The deceased were two sisters(actually twins), who spent most of their free time buying costume jewerly in flea markets, antique shops and antique shows in the Northeastern United States from 1960 to 1990.One sister was a federal judge and the other was a social worker.They amassed a huge collection.We sold 200 to 400 items at every one of our auction every two weeks for years.Finally we ran out.It wasn't untill I was looking for something in the basement of our auction house a few days ago that I stumbled on two large boxes from the two sisters, pack full of more costume jewelry.We missed the two boxes previously because the basement has hundreds of boxes, that all look alike.

We guarantee a minimum of 300 pieces.There are signed pieces, like Trifari, carved wood dog pins, art deco pieces, and alot more.The twins bought carefully, often leaving the price tags on the items to remind themselves of what they paid,then put each item in a plastic bag.We basically left the items as we found them.

Good luck.

Good condition overall
