Necklace- SPECIAL EDITION Wooden Nickel

The Spirit of the Southwest is channeled in this handcrafted necklace. Created especially for us, colored flat beads are strung on a nylon cord featuring a Wooden Nickel charm. The first wooden “nickels” or tokens appeared in 1934, as an advertisement/souvenir for a fair in Birmingham, New York. The gimmick proved popular enough that by 1948 the Elbee Company of San Antonio, Texas added custom-printed wooden nickels to their line of novelty items. Each necklace is unique (some add silver tone beads) and the flip side is painted with the Chldrn of the Sun logo.

Great worn on its own or layer with your other charms. The 1.25" charm is strung on a 28" slightly stretchy cord.  A perfect gift or feel good splurge for yourself.
