VERY GOOD This Antique WW1 15ct Gold Cased Fumsup Good Luck Charm is in very good condition. Having stood the test of time, the wooden head is nicely secure as are the two Paste gemstones set in the eye sockets.  The Gold is buttery and reflective, and the arms still have movement. The "fumsup" on the front has worn slightly, commensurate with age, but is still legible. Complete with a soldered jump ring, you can wear this intriguing piece of antique jewellery with confidence!
