Very Rare! Vintage travel shield charm, MISSSPELLED Mals, South Tirol, Italy

Vintage travel shield charms have become highly appreciated as miniature pieces of art.
It's cheap and rather easy to build an interesting collection of these tiny beauties.

This particular charm from Mals (local name) or Malles Venosta (Italian name) is very rare due to the misspelling "Males". See the fourth picture above for verification of the spelling error. It is of course impossible to know how many charms the manufacturer produced with this error but he probably only did it once ...

The charm is in a very good condition excactly as when I bought it myself in 1967.
I have kept it in my jewelry box and never worn the charm but as silver is rather soft,
some tiny scratches are inevitable on the backside because more charms were kept in the same box.
The enamel front side is absolutely perfect - no scratches nor other damages there.

Details: 800 Silver with enamel. Original oval jump ring for easy mounting included.
    
Please note that enamel travel shield charms are rather small. See the picture with measures.
Approx. size: Height 5/8" x Width 1/2" (11 mm x 16 mm) +the jump ring.
The weight is approx. 3.5 grams.

Free shipping (or as we prefer to say: Shipping included) as long as the items can be mailed as a normal letter ab Virksund, Denmark.
Insured shipping from Denmark costs $13.00 extra
 
Shipping will of course be combined and the saved shipping prices will be deducted from the final invoice if other items are purchased in my booth at the same time.
You'll never have to pay more than the actual shipping costs at HandyMummy's.
