{"product_id":"silver-fumsup-charm-with-eyes","title":"Silver Fumsup Charm Pendant with Glass Eyes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis wonderfully characterful antique Fumsup charm dates to the First World War era and combines two traditional symbols of good fortune in one tiny figure. His articulated silver-coloured body is modelled with raised thumbs, while the 10mm wooden head allowed the wearer to literally “touch wood” for luck. The charm is finished with a shamrock stamped onto the forehead and two remarkably well-preserved tiny glass eyes, each measuring just 0.8mm. The articulated arms and carefully modelled hands give him plenty of personality, while the wooden head has developed a lovely aged patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe registration number impressed to the reverse is associated with 1914, placing this little fellow at the beginning of the period when Fumsups became especially popular as lucky talismans during the First World War. At just 29mm high (34mm including the jump ring) and weighing 1.8g, he is a wonderfully small piece of social history, and he remains in great condition considering his age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun fact: The Fumsup was deliberately designed to combine two good-luck traditions: the raised thumbs represented “thumbs up”, while the wooden head allowed its owner to “touch wood”. During the First World War, these little charms were often given to soldiers as tokens of luck and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore specs below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• measures 29mm in height (34mm with the jump ring)\u003cbr\u003e• two tiny glass eyes measure 0.8mm each\u003cbr\u003e• shamrock stamped on the forehead\u003cbr\u003e• the wooden head measures \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e10mm\u003cbr\u003e• the charm weighs 1.8g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the charm is in great condition considering its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill arrive in a little white box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI post all my UK orders via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
