Vintage Gamblers' Nightmare Charm Pendant pinchbeck and seed pearlsDATE: Vintage, 1958 A fine vintage "Gamblers' Nightmare" charm in 9k gold. It features a spinning dice (?) with dominoes and the four playing card suites on each of the six sides. I'm not sure exactly why these represent a nightmare to a gambler (any suggestions welcome), but it dates from 1958 and is suitable for wear either as a pendant or charm.
