<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 183036, member: 51&quot;]Bear with me, it&#039;s a good ending (I think!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I was reading a post here about Danish furniture in the UK.&nbsp; At the end the OP suggested the piece was possibly by John and Sylvia Reid, so I thought I&#039;d look up some Reid pieces just to educate myself, possibly help if I found a match at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>There wasn&#039;t much on Ebay, so dropped it and went on to other things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward to later in the evening.&nbsp; I was looking for a hanging magnifying glass necklace for an upcoming sale I&#039;m going to, and I have a number of vintage necklaces with it and I spot this enamel one and on the back it says, &quot;Reid&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; I always thought this was a local artisan piece and never tried to research it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t wear it much, but I always liked it.&nbsp; I think I purchased it 15-20 years ago, but with &quot;Reid&quot; on the brain, now I&#039;m curious, did that company ever make necklaces?&nbsp; The first initials on the signature are impossible to read, but the &quot;Reid&quot; is clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>It took me exact one minute before I found a different, but exciting match.&nbsp; Not John and Sylvia Reid, but Barney Reid.&nbsp; What I have is an enamel modernist piece, and the style and signature on mine is positively a match.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could only find two others pendant necklaces by Barney Reid up for sale. So the only info is just asking price, but both (Ebay and the over priced 1stDibs) are asking over $2K.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure mine isn&#039;t worth that much, but maybe several hundred?</p><p><br /></p><p>There was one on WP, this WP one had no original necklace and is missing some of the metal hardware around the pendant, pendant only.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have an account, but here it is:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/highly-unusual-portrait-pendant-220733156" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/highly-unusual-portrait-pendant-220733156" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/highly-unusual-portrait-pendant-220733156</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Holding off on posting photos.&nbsp; I guess I could have posted under &quot;Finds&quot; as is , &quot;found in my own house.&quot;&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t happen too often!
