14K Gold and Sterling Silver Mad Money Break Glass Charms, Set of 2

Mad Money charms rose to popularity in the 1940s through the 1960s as clever novelty pendants gifted to young women heading out for dates or travel, holding a folded emergency bill behind a break glass panel with a tiny hammer for use in case of emergency. This matched pair includes one crafted in solid 14 karat gold with its original hammer and folded bill, and one in sterling silver with the same construction, both engraved with a dollar sign on top and "Mad Money" on the front. Sold as a rare original set, these gold and sterling silver Mad Money break glass emergency bill charms are from the 1940s to 1960s.
