Featured Sparrow fart find again

Nearly nearly stayed in bed. It was dark and cold and dark and drizzling and cold and dark.

This was on the one pound table, same Blokes who (don't) Know as the silver barrette thing. It's restrung. DILIGAF.

Bloke hummed and hawed about the price while he checked if the clasp was gold. Which I knew it wasn't. Stuff the clasp, lookit the BEADS.

 

Exactly! Great find, obb, and one of my favourite colour combinations.

 

Mine too, and classic art deco. They’re in perfect condition too. And we know what they are don’t we.

 

I don't! I'd love to be enlightened though...

 

Neiger! Or at least, the double pyramid ones definitely, and the remainder almost certainly. There’s some unmistakable shapes in there. I’d suspect it was part of a much longer necklace once.

 

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more.

 

I had to google "Sparrow Fart".

 

I like Neiger,but I like 'DILIGAF' better ! I'm online lots but am an ignorant lout when it comes to modern acronyms.I just told my lady bout OBB's use of it and she said-'Well she probably has grandkids !'...perhaps ?
PS-'From sparrow + fart. In the dawn sense, apparently UK dialect (Yorkshire) from ante 1828.[1]

 

Nah, no ankle biters, I’m just yer typical Londoner!

 

I should study the online abbreviations a tad more though-it's really become orthodox conversational English,and it's multiplying madly !

 

For those of us less in the know -

"Neiger Brothers jewellery is characterized by beautiful Czech glass beads, and detailed metal bead caps & findings.

Max and Norbert Neiger were two brothers living in Czechoslovakia who made wonderful jewellery with figural glass components in Gablonz, Czechoslovakia, from 1905 to the 1930s. They were Czech citizens as were their ancestors but they also had German Nationality.

The Neiger Brothers took advantage of the Egyptian Revival craze, beginning with the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922. They further added more “exotic” lines, with Chinese and Indian motifs. They produced hypnotising brooches, beautiful beaded necklaces and fascinating bracelets, all of the highest quality. Today, collectors have rediscovered Max and Norbert, and their tragic end has come back into the public eye, as buyers snap up their stunning wares.

As the Germans advanced near Gablonz in 1939, the two Jewish brothers left their factory and escaped to Bohemia, where they continued to produce jewellery in a scaled-down operation. They were later arrested in Prague and, in 1942, were exterminated by the Nazis at Auschwitz."
