A great pair of jazzy cufflinks by Henry Steig who,
as well as a being a famous mid 20th century American jeweler, was

dance bands between 1922-32; cufflinks are sterling silver and about
3/4" x 1/2" and are signed: "STEIG, STERLING;" fine condition with
nice patina.
Biographies of Henry Steig and

Museum of Art, 2008.
