The Waller Patent: The bottom-left pair features US Patent Number 1801128, filed in 1930 by inventor Anthony E. Waller of Providence, Rhode Island. His legendary tensioned spring-clasp finding completely transformed 1930s accessorizing, allowing heavy jeweled accents to hold tightly to silk necklines, fur capes, or lapels without ripping fragile fabrics. This benchmark design was favored by leading makers of the era like Coro, Trifari, and Mazer. Pickup category timeslot {A}
