These are in excellent condition. They did not need polished. I suppose they could be plated.
Of course, when you hang a picture on a string by a nail, you can't just let the nail show! When it comes to out-and-out "panache" it is hard to beat the brilliance of the Victorian era. Flourishes, scrollwork, a love of classicism and flair - all are endearing characteristics of "the Heroic Era." Every aspect of Victorian art; from its obsession to detail and workmanship to its affair with all things Rococo - define it as a triumph for its nameless, forgotten artists.
They are 1 3/4 inches LONG x 7/8" & 3/8 inch deep.
If you want just the original nail cover as manufactured in 1862 for .90. Listed in my store here.
They are so ornate & pretty. This listing will be as a pendant for a fine rhodium 18" necklace with your 5 choices shown in 1st picture. The chosen item will be glued in over patent markings. If you can read backwards, you will still be able to read in on back as printing, like all of embellishment on cover, is raised repousse. These nail covers are light weight similar to tin.
