** Solid/Sterling Silver castingCirca 1960's - 1970's Vintage hand made Ankh cigarette tobacco roach clips. My uncle was a semi-pro surfer back in the day. He was also a jewelry artisan who paid his bills making hand crafted these Sterling Silver roach clips out of his VW Bus. In fact, if you were part of the Southern California, Laguna Beach scene you may recognize these clips. Featured in high times magazine they were very popular.
I have the remaining cigarette tobacco clips from the last batch he made. There are multiple styles and supplies are limited.

A ROACH CLIP BY ANY OTHER NAMECall it a pendant, call it a key-fob. In fact these stylized Ankh (ancient Egyptian symbol of life) designs perform beautifully in either capacity.Foremost, however, they function as very efficient, very discreet roach clips. These solid bronze castings combine the eye appeal of fine jewelry with the enduring service of a truly practical, personal roach clip.
