Individual Charms
1970? TH Charm. Rabbit inside the tortoise body. 1" long. Unknown source.
The collection received this charm a long time ago, but we only now are able to catalogue it. As I found it, I wondered why we had a lone tortoise in the collection. Closer examination revealed a hinge, and some patient probing found a way to get it open after so many years of being shut. The smallest rabbit in the world is lodged inside this tortoise! He lives in a lovely pearl-colored casing.
1980? TH Charm. The hare rides the tortoise. 1" high. Unknown source.
This charm is nicely printed on both sides. It follows the familiar – but to me still hard to understand – that the hare rides the tortoise. His nose and whiskers are particularly well rendered.
2000? TH charms connected by a .75" chain. Two copies in Pierre Cardin case. Unknown source.
There is little to identify these charms. It seems unusual to have a double charm. Could these be actual Cardin products?
2020 TH charms by Nancy Schön representing her two statues in Boston's Copley Square. $50 from Nancy herself, Sept., '20. They arrived with a lovely photographic note from Nancy.
The charms can be shoe tie or sweater charms. Charming!
