    Description

    From the private estate of a California antique dealer, here is a solid gold, hand crafted charm. A rare hobo pig, dressed in overalls, can stand on his own and is wearing a Confederate Kepi hat and carrying a bindle over his shoulder, a hobo stick with kerchief.  I took this precious little charm to my jeweler, Grace, at the Encino Jewelry Mart on Ventura Blvd. The store had recently reopened and Grace tested and confirmed to me that the pig was 14k solid gold. It was weighed with other 14K gold items, so I don't know it's exact weight or age, but this item feels heavier than other gold charms of that size.  He is between 1/2 -3/4" long and has the original gold jump ring attached to the back of his cap. It could be worn as a charm or pendant.  The pig is detailed and looks like it has marks jewelers marks.  Please ask me if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer. I have a no return policy on estate items and these pieces are being auctioned as found. Priority flat rate shipping includes tracking and up to 0 insurance, so tell me at the end of auction if you would like additional insurance.
