Description Up for auction is this original old Chinese Export Sea Monster silver Hair pin hand made with fine detail.  The Hair Pin measures 8 in. long by 1 1/2 in. wide, The Sea monster part measures 3 in. long.  This is one of the most unusual and unique items I have ever come across.  The Creature has no legs, but has a large tail and the subject has roped silver to make up the scale like skin.  The piece is in fine condition ( needs to be cleaned), nice patina piece has been left as is.  On the top of the head there is a small round swirl shaped creature, I suspect this could be a baby sea monster.   The entire piece is silver, Im not sure to content but it definitly is real silver and quite a conversation piece.  This piece will go to the higest bidder, dont let this super unusual piece go.  Buyer pays shipping ( 4.00) payments made by check take five days to clear.  Payments made by money order item will be mailed next business day.  Another form of payment accepted is PAYPAL.  Payment is expected within ten days from the end of the auction.   Place a Bid!
