Manchu Hair Pin: Great E-bay Auction

Posted on: July 28, 2011

A fabulous mouthwatering Manchu hair pin sold on E-Bay for $706 on July 26. Stunning detail in the kingfisher decorations, with not a feather missing. There was a butterfly in the center, surrounded by coral, jade, a beaded flower, and pearls. The back was correct. A drop-dead piece. I wonder who won it!

Well, it wasn’t me! :o(

It was, indeed, a gorgeous thing. Always exciting to see something of this quality show up.

It wasn’t me either. :-(
