Vintage Gold Break Glass Pound Note Charms queen anne Her beauty caught the eyeDATE: Vintage, c. 1970 A pair of emergency cash charms, each one formed as a gold box with a folded note behind a pane of glass. These two contain a 1 and a 10 note respectively (and I like that together they make 101 a nice covert nod to the bizarrely Orwellian turn global politics appears to be taking right now) and have the words "IN EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS" stamped into the sides. MEASUREMENTS 1 charm: 1. 5 x 1. 2 x 0. 8cm (not including bail) 10
