Vintage Silver-Toned Spider and Web Novelty Brooch - A vintage novelty brooch featuring a three-dimensional spider motif centered on a hexagonal plate. The spider is encircled by an octagonal frame designed to resemble a spiderweb, fashioned from concentric layers of twisted wire. The item is composed of a silver-toned metal with visible surface oxidation throughout. The reverse side contains a central loop and the remains of a horizontal bar, suggesting it may have served as a slide or brooch, though the fastening mechanism is incomplete. No hallmarks, maker marks, or metal purity stamps are present. Diameter: Approximately 1 inch Weight: 0.089 ozt (approximately 2.77 grams). The item shows moderate to heavy tarnish across all surfaces. The horizontal bar on the reverse is broken off at both ends, leaving jagged edges. The wirework shows minor bending and displacement consistent with age and handling.
