Tie clip ID help, please?

Casa Welsch was a luxury jewelry store in Lima. From a quick (Peru) internet search, they appear to have signed their pieces "Welsch."

Yes they were. When I was researching the platter my marks example appears on (over on the 925 forums) I also learned that the llama was their "house mark."

 

I was seeing the Sinclair Dino!

 

...so, we still don't know? Yay...I gave you guys a tough one!

 

Don't know if this of any interest -- as you already know much about the brand -- but Casa Welsch was the name adopted by the jewelry store in 1947. Before that, it was called G. Welsch, Ehni & Cia. (Ehni being the German parent company.) Now called Cabuchon. Official web site below.

That's IT!!!! It was a gasoline premium!!!! Good sleuthing @Bev aka thelmasstuff!

 

Just curious....how does one distinguish a tie clip from a money clip?
Tie clip usually narrow, money clip wider?
Does anyone still use a money clip, or is that a custom that has gone by?

 

In most cases but not all, the tie clip will be spring loaded, and where it's not it will look like a bobby pin on steroids. One solid bent piece of metal with no burrs to hurt the silk....as most older ties were made of silk.
A money clip will almost always be larger and wider and thicker.
IMO...

 

Most of my tie clips have little alligator-type clips; and I don't use a money clip. I'm probably just low-class.
No tie-tacks; it has always seemed dumb to me, to buy a nice silk tie, then poke a hole in it.....

 

tie clip different than a tie tac......but if introduced with care , a heavy silk tie will repair itself as long as the tac wasn't pulled on.
( or left in long after use.)

 

This is a cheap money clip that was is the same box (next to the mystery tie clip)

 

I'm probably just low-class.

Nahh....you just lack the wad of hunderd's needed to fill the clip !

 

I'd say they are both money clips.

 

Yes, in theory; but I only use tie clips now, after having one of my favorite ties seriously punctured by a tie-tac. Maybe I wasn't careful enough, but why take chances, I figure.

But I digress, as usual. I haven't found OP's item in any online reference, in any case - whether as tie-clip or money clip.

 

your tie was printed silk as opposed to woven silk........eh ?

 

Need to sell some of this tonnage first!

 

Probably....I favor garish ties, worn in musical performance with silk shirts....so when I need a subtle tie for formal occasions, my selection is somewhat limited......there's the one with King Kong on the Empire State building, the one with little frogs....nothing that normal people would wear, probably....and it doesn't much matter what clip one uses with King Kong.....
My kids don't give me nice normal ties for Christmas or Father's Day........the closest they came to normal was a Jerry Garcia design.....

 

Sorry Ms. Brown...that was directed at all-fakes......but ya......if u got tonnage.....you needs to be sellin !!

 

Another from today's box...this one will grab a tie! Tested as jade...but what a horrible setting!

Lots of pretty tie pins today too...

 

& that is indeed a tie clip......which makes me wonder about the others....but then when you say a gent's jewelry .....all those things should be present !!
