Things have gotten a little out of control again, so I've moved the Buttons onto their own page.

Vintage Watch Parts: Small Faces

These are "real" vintage watch faces. As you can see, they vary in size; most do not have hands; they are not perfect specimens (some are cracked or dirty or both). I cannot guarantee you'll get one of the ones in the photo, you will get a mix of sizes and/or styles. You can also buy reproduction clock faces.

Note: these are vintage parts and I cannot vouch for their history. Use common sense (wash your hands after playing with them).

$4.49/Set of 2

Tiny Watch Gears
A small metal & glass tin (1-1/4" diameter) holding tiny watch parts (and a couple larger pieces). Most of the gears are approx. 1/4" diameter. Gears would make lovely little halos for tiny little angels...

Sample using Teal Crinkle Wire, Lotus Pad & Simple Birds Chipboard by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (for the Chipboard Birds Swap).

 


 
 
Crinkle Wire (Repro Bouillon)
Lots of beautiful colors! Similar to the Steifkantille (German Bouillon) below, but less expensive. It's metallic-coated copper wire (so the copper undercolor occasionally shows through). And the packages are sold by weight (some of the strands are short) but you get a LOT of wire per package (each picture shows ONE package).

$3.95/20 gram package

German Bouillon
Not vintage, but authentic Steifkantille (German Bouillon), still made in Germany in the traditional fashion. Steifkantille is created from fancily-spun metal bouillon which is twisted around a central core of wire (they're kind of like tiny, long slinkies). This helps it to hold its shape so that it can be formed into all manner of decorative embellishments. Click on the small ornaments to see enlargements that use Bouillon. Gold is sold out.

Sold by the strand (each strand is 20" long and is coiled in a round tin).
