A striking pair of American Art Deco cufflinks from Baer & Wilde’s celebrated Kum-A-Part line, patented in 1923, with continued production into the 1930s by SWANK. The square facings, rendered in bright white metal, are set with vivid blue lozenge cabochons surrounded by a strong geometric brick motif. The insides bear the patent inscription “B & W Co – PAT’D 1923 / KUM-A-PART REGSR MADE IN U.S.A.” The precision-made 'SNAP' mechanism exemplifies the innovative engineering of the inter-war period, while the cool, architectural styling reflects the height of American Art-Deco design.
The facings measure: 1,2 cm x 1,2 cm
This type of "Snap-link" cufflinks first appeared after ww1 and came into mainstream popularity in the 1920s and 1930s.
They were designed for ease of use. Each snap-link consists of two parts, simply insert each end into each side of your cuffs and "snap" them close!
In good vintage condition, no major visible dents or scratches, some minor chipping on the blue cabochons, however this is barely noticeable when worn . Snap system is a bit worn, though, these will still hold your cuffs together firmly. Fully cleaned and ready to wear!
