Vintage 'Just in Case' Coin Charm
An unusual charm from the middle of the 20th Century, dated London 1959. The main part of the charm is made from 9ct gold and it is a little case holding a one shilling coin. The coin is also dated 1959 and has sat in this statement pendant for the past 60+ years. The front of the pendant has the words ‘Just in Case’ engraved into it and a little diagram of a gas meter from the time. You would feed the gas meter the coin and it would start up again in an emergency. I love this! The gas would have been for warmth and it makes me feel as though this is a little warm hug. A lovely charm pendant with the original coin.
Chain pictured is for display only.
