    Description

    Up for auction/sale is a pair of antique (very vintage) brass spring clips which were produced for "The London Assurance Corporation" (1719 - 1967) and "The Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Co." (1825 - >1925) and have their fire marker images. I tried to date these specifically, but only the Pennsylvania piece is manufacturer marked:
    Brilliant Manufacturing Co. (1865 - 1938), 1035-1037 Ridge Ave., Phila, PA

    The Pennsylvania piece is in excellent condition with no black enamel loss, but the London Assurance piece has some very small bits of paint loss. Otherwise, both spring clips are fully functional, lay flat, have no dents or cracks, and show only minimal signs of wear and usage. The rough overall measurements are: London Assurance - (2 3/4" tall x 2 1/4" wide), The Pennsylvania - 2 1/2" tall x 2 1/2" wide.
    I have described these old brass insurance spring clips as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided several high-resolution images of the pair from varying angles (along with close-ups) to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability.
    These will be packaged with care to best ensure this pair of old brass spring clips arrive as pictured and described.
