1955-1956 Civil Rights pin, Martin Luther King – SOLD

1955-1956 Beginnings of Civil Rights Movement pin, Martin Luther King, Black Memorabilia

THIS PIN IS AN ESTATE FIND. We have been told that one just like it is in the Civil Rights museum in Memphis but we have not been able to substantiate that. We would appreciate any information bidders may have on this wonderful old pinback pin evoking an important time in American history and a very important American political and moral leader.

On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refuses to give her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

On Dec. 5, the Montgomery Improvement Association is established by a group of local Baptist ministers. The organization elects the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, president. In this role, King would lead the boycott. We have been told that this rare Civil Rights Movement memorabilia item was created in late 1955 and used to early 1956 in the December election of Dr. Martin Luther King to his first position as a civil rights leader as the head of the newly formed Montgomery Bus Boycott.

In January and February, 1956, whites angry about the Montgomery Bus Boycott bomb four African-American churches and the homes of civil rights leaders King, Ralph Abernathy, and E.D. Nixon.

Dr. King would continue to lead the Civil Rights Movement with his belief in non-violent civil disobedience with great success despite the sacrifices he and others made in the name of Love, Peace and Justice.

Excellent condition. Clear lucite lens over metal. Excellent photo of young Dr. King. Clasp is probably newer but works. See first two photos of the pin for further information.

Antique Burmese Mandalay style Chinthe sculpture, possibly antiquity

This is an estate find, in a house full of antiquities & antiques that were well taken care of, and we believe the piece came from a temple in Burma a very long time ago as such antiques or antiquities have been unavailable from that country for a long, long time.. We believe this Chinthe, as we were told it is known by, was sculpted, not cast nor a hollow ceramic. It is solid and heavy. The sculpture is in very good condition for an object of this age and made of this material. It shows the normal wear, scuffing, scratches, minor dents expected on a piece of this vintage. It has some parts loss but from a long time ago. There is an old repair on the top of the piece that is unnoticeable.  Please refer to the photos for more information on condition. 

Original & rare, and very old. It may qualify as an “antiquity”. We do not know as we are not experts on dating Asian art.

 

It is a stunning unique piece! 

 

A Chinthe is a leogryph (lion-like creature) that is often seen at the entrances of pagodas and temples in Burma and other South and Southeast Asian countries. The chinthe is featured prominently on the kyat (the currency of Burma) and the Sri Lankan rupee. The chinthe is almost always depicted in pairs, and serve to protect the pagoda. They typically appear as animals, but are sometimes found with human faces.

Antique Chinese Rare Black Jade Sash Buckle, late Qing dynasty – SOLD

Jade Belt Buckle, China, late 19th/early 20th century, traditional form, hand carved with a sinuous chilong, stone of black nephrite jade with several small pyrite inclusions and a pale opaque white inclusion near the left nostril of the dragon head.  A second figure appears to be riding the chilong.  We are not sure what the second figure depicts.

In excellent condition with a dusty interior to the carving typical of objects of this vintage.  We have not attempted to clean the piece.

This is an estate find and was in the hands of one family who used it as a paperweight since the 1930s.   .

Back nephrite is said to be a protective stone and may help protection from negativity of others, anger, aggression, and some believe that Black Jade will also not only protect on a physical level but that on a spiritual level too.

It is also considered to help inward looking and to maybe dispel negative energy that one themselves may give out, may help with honest self-evaluation.

Black Nephrite, also rare, carries all nephrite qualitites but is also grounding.  It helps one keep one’s head and protects against false friends.

SOLD
