Oldsmobile Jewelry

My wife has been looking for Olds related jewelry to wear to car events. Races and shows. She hasn't been able to find any. Does anyone know a source? She's always interested in going to these things and if a little bling can make her happier, I'm all for it.

I an't help your wife, but I have a tie clasp/tie bar from 1966 that is a small 442 emblem. The dimensions, while in miniature, are the same as a grille emblem. My father got it in 1966 when the "new" car announcement took place. I have had it since then and never have worn it.
NO, it DEFINITELY is not for sale. I have never seen another one, but I'm sure they are out there. It was probably something that each dealer had many of.
"Worthless then-Priceless now" (to me anyway).

I have a few of those, Dave. The vintage ones like yours were made (among other pieces) by Anson and the word "Anson" is inscribed on the back of the clasp. There we many styles of Olds jewelry made over the years, including at least a dozen types of cuff links and tie clasps. (I have at least a dozen different ones). I have a rather extensive collection of Olds jewelry.

Thanks for the tip! Contacted the seller, wife would rather they said 442 ('67 style) or be dangle style but those are the only ones I've seen.

Ebay also has some Oldsmobile Watches. They come from Hong Kong so I dont know how good they are but they are reasonably priced
