Vintage Tiffany & Co Pegasus Charm
Okay, hands up, I did not realise this had an oil company link when I bought it... just liked the red pegasus and it caught my eye... on researching it two things of note came up: 1) It's a 35 years service token from the Socony Mobil oil company, crafted in 9ct gold and set with a single diamond. 2) These were actually made by Tiffany & Co, originally as a stud or lapel pin that someone's gone to the trouble of converting into a charm. So there you go. It's a great-looking little charm if you can get around the stupid fossil fuel link. Circa 1970.
FYI we'll donate the proceeds of the sale of this charm directly to Greenpeace.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm!
