Description

The listing, VINTAGE SWEATER CLIPS????? has ended.

I bought these at a yard sale 15 years or so ago When I was gathering up clip on earrings for my 5 year old daughter to play with. She is now almost 21 and after I picked these up I realized they weren't earrings. I thought they were so pretty and Love the art deco style so I had to buy them!
I was hoping to repurpose these for maybe a curtain pull or a craft project but never did anything with them so here they are up for auction.
There isn't any markings on them but surprisingly the back side does have a circular pattern in the metal. the clips are strong and have a couple sharp points to hold the material with.
I was wondering if these could have been shoe clips?
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I will answer quickly and as best as I can.

I follow Listia's rules so please have your address verified before asking me to ship. I use tracking with every item and will leave feedback for you, hope you will do the same, it is truly appreciated.

Thank You so much for stopping by to look at my auction. I have many items listed maybe something you just have to have! :)

yes--these are Art Deco and are what is known as dress clips--they would go on either side of a dress-- great auction

what about shoe clips? I think these are shoe clips... for certain

Maybe, The spring is pretty strong, so I think it's a real good probability that they are shoe clips. But those prongs would make a heck of a hole in the shoe. LOL

There are key differences between dress clips, fur clips and shoe clips, though many sellers use the terms interchangeably:

•Dress clips utilize a hinged mechanism with a flat metal piece equipped with a few tiny teeth or claws for grasping material.
•Fur clips utilize a hinged mechanism with two long sharp prongs for poking through heavy materials and furs.
•Shoe clips have a similar hinged mechanism, or a more bendable metal (and no hinge) but the metal clip is much shorter and typically much wider with a couple sharp teeth.
