Beat up in terms of paint, but this is now the oldest in my collection, produced 8 years after Hot Wheels started in &#039;68. </p> <p style="text-align: center">3rd: A 1975 silver and blue flame corvette, which is the rare color out of that line.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]438951[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">There was also lots of jewelry, most of which I passed up except for 3 pieces. A pair of older earrings (I think), a modern costume ring that will pay for everything purchased, and THIS:</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]438952[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">A Maggy Rouff Paris necklace. Maggy was a couture fashion and costume designer from 1929-1948. Her daughter took over the brand until it shut down in 1965. I think this is early 60s peice.</p> <p style="text-align: center">Here&#039;s her wikipedia if anyone&#039;s interested, very interesting:</p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggy_Rouff" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggy_Rouff" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggy_Rouff</a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I&#039;ve only found 5 jewelry peices online, 3 on WP, 1 unsold on ebay, and 1 on another website. I&#039;m not sure what the value on this is, I&#039;m going to try and do more research on the brand in general. It looks so far like her early accessory work is collectible, as well as her clothing and prints/sketches/ads. Not so sure about this. Its not my style so I&#039;ll be moving it on, but for 2 euros I&#039;m bound to make a profit and it&#039;ll make someone very happy.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">WHY is the photo blurry, its not that way on my phone <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
