A great gift for the vintage gentleman! Very nice 1960s Men's Vintage Silver Tone Cufflinks Set made by SWANK from their "Arts of the World" series. A novel set of cufflinks which feature large round Delft Ceramic Tiles hand painted in Holland with portrait of musician. The settings are silver toned with a bullet back closures; a torpedo, or bullet shaped, capsule that is suspended between two posts. The bullet flips on its axis to manipulate it through the button holes in the cuff, and then flips to secure the cufflink on the shirt. The set is still in its original vintage black velvet presentation box with metal globe on lid. Each piece of the set is also impressed with the SWANK "S" in shield mark.
