need a lucky fish to carry with you? here is a fun assortment of options that span continents, cultures, eras, and metals
three articulated wiggly fish options: a longer sterling silver Chinese export fish with blue glass eyes, a dainty sterling silver wiggly fish by Taxco (tag was removed because it was too sharp for wear), an an alpaca (copper + nickel + zinc) articulated fish with a mouth that might also double as a bottle opener
the non wiggly options is a terrifically detailed whimsical fish brooch by Iona that is easily styled as a pendant

all are in good vintage condition
they are all vintage and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
largest sterling articulated fish has minor bends and warbles throughout its delicate scales, heavy patina, a new jump ring bail, and blue glass eyes (one has some brown residue on it)
smallest articulated sterling fish had painted eyes, which were rather sloppy, so the paint was removed in favor of empty bezel eyes. it was made by Taxco, but the tiny maker tag was sharp, so it was just removed from the bail to make the pendant wearable. it has a new jump ring bail.
alpaca articulated fish has yellowing and patina spots throughout the surface, a new sterling silver jump ring bail, and it would have originally had faux turquoise eyes, which are long gone
fish brooch has heavy, stubborn patina along the shiny backside of the piece and deep patina throughout the front. the clasp closure is easy and secure
