The metal necklace @ 18:14 isn’t missing the other half of the clasp. You hook the hook on the chain in between the beads and it stays put. My mom had a couple necklaces like that. She would let me and my friends play dress up. Oh, boy, I’m sure we looked a sight in her high heels, her old chiffon nightgowns bunched up with a belt (so we wouldn’t trip), gobs of her jewelry, and purses. We’d walk around our neighborhood showing off our ensembles. I wish I had pics. 🤣😂🤣

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

What a fun memory! Thanks for the info on that clasp!

[@shelleydavis9956]

Love how you get inspiration from these donated jewelry pieces.

The Native American coin that says Code Talkers on the back is commemorating the Native Americans that served in WWII in secret communications. Read about them here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_talker

[@reginam7370]

Here's some more info on the Native American Coin: www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/native-american-dollar-coins/2016-native-american-code-talkers

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

Thank you Regina! I find this so intriguing!

[@bevlynde2756]

You can also wear those magnetic bracelets as lariet necklaces or choker necklaces. The magnetic bead jewelry is great for someone with arthritis or mobility issues.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

I see that now. I cant believe I just figured out the magnetic beads. LOL The light bulb finally came on...haha

[@stellagracia3913]

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

[@dawnholley7880]

A code talker was a person employed by the military during wartime to utilize a little-known language as a means of secret communication. The term is now usually associated with United States service members during the world wars who used their knowledge of Native American languages as a basis to transmit coded messages. In particular, there were approximately 400 to 500 Native Americans in the United States Marine Corps whose primary job was to transmit secret tactical messages. Code talkers transmitted messages over military telephone or radio communications nets using formally or informally developed codes built upon their native languages. The code talkers improved the speed of encryption and decryption of communications in front line operations during World War II. There were two code types used during World War II. Type one codes were formally developed based on the languages of the Comanche, Hopi, Meskwaki, and Navajo peoples. They used words from their languages for each letter of the English alphabet. Messages could be encoded and decoded by using a simple substitution cipher where the ciphertext was the native language word. Type two code was informal and directly translated from English into the native language. If there was no word in the native language to describe a military word, code talkers used descriptive words. For example, the Navajo did not have a word for submarine so they translated it to iron fish.[1][2] The name code talkers is strongly associated with bilingual Navajo speakers specially recruited during World War II by the US Marine Corps to serve in their standard communications units of the Pacific theater. Code talking, however, was pioneered by the Cherokee and Choctaw peoples during World War I. I find this piece so awseome! I am a huge fan of all things Native American. Very cool find.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

WOW! I find this so intriguing! Thank you for the info!

[@aletatenney642]

I had fun looking at the jewelry with you. katheryn was very generous. You have such a good heart too, you donated so much to the church. I was beginning to think you wouldn’t keep anything for yourself, and was glad to see that you did. I make Native American ( inspired) style jewelry, but I don’t know much about the code talkers. I really enjoyed your video.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

Thank you! Yes Kathryn is so generous! Im glad the church can benefit as well. I love the Native American style jewelry.

[@reneeray5365]

There were some really cool things in this haul!

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

I know! I enjoyed opening it so much!

[@amberesabraxton5393]

The Navajo was the tribe used and they were called Wind Talkers. you should see the movie "Wind Talkers" it was a very good and informative movie.

[@KathrynKay0651]

I'm so glad you were able to use some and donate the rest to the various church functions! Putting some in a give away stash ... brilliant! You've done what I knew you would. Passing on to others, you have a giving heart and that is a beautiful thing. I can tell you that the coin that said "code walkers" (I think that was how it was stated) is from either the first world war or second. I can't remember which. When the enemy armies were decoding our messages so easily, we had to come up with a better way to send messages in codes that the enemy could not decode. So they started a whole branch to the service called the "Code Walkers". The Indians could take our messages and code them into their native language and the enemy never could break the codes. They played a vital part of us winning the war!

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

That is so amazing! It reminds me of the movie "A Beautiful Mind" even though that movie wasnt about Native Americans.

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

Wendy Alexander Scott Rings go for in the hundreds. You need to look it up and see if you can find the exact rings they might be collectibles

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

[@vickyrushton1783]

Wendy Whitman 😂

[@rebeccaocker2106]

I would love to have the blue magnit bracelet

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

Ive already donated it all to the church thrift store. Im sorry : (

[@bevlynde2756]

Regarding the watch piece...it can have charms and chain dangling from one side and a necklace chain attached on the other side.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

What A great idea!

[@Doxymeister]

@50:50, you were asking about the Native American coin charm. The "code talkers" were Navaho soldiers in WWII. The Army needed a way to communicate tactics without fear of the Germans intercepting their messages and getting ahead of them, so they had the Navaho soldiers translate troop movements into Navaho and transmitted. Then a Navaho soldier on the other end translated it back into English. Navaho is such an intricate language that very few people outside the Navaho Nation can speak it, and the Germans were never able to break the code. They've been recognized by several presidents as an integral part of the US military success in WWII. I don't know much about Sackajewia other than that she helped guide the Louis and Clark Expedition. IDK, but that coin might have some value.

[@bnbhomestead2124]

Being a Native American it is hard to find beads like the Code Talkers coin.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

I find that so interesting! Ive been reading up on it a little

[@reginam7370]

The big earrings with the picture of the man on the back of one of them --- the rest of the pictures look like different sections of an old oil derrick.

[@reginam7370]

Maybe the man in the picture was an oil field worker. And it is possible that those earrings were either mourning jewelry or remembrance jewelry. Most Victorian era mourning jewelry was usually a lock of the deceased person's hair in a locket, but at other times in history mourning jewelry took on different forms. So, it's entirely possible these were made for the widow of an oil field worker.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

Aww thats kinda sad! I feel like I should do something special with them...

[@sydnachristmon2485]

The stretch bracelet has carrier beads. I’ve never seen them that small. Very col. you may want to keep them.

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

Really? Ive never seen carrier beads before

[@rebeccaocker2106]

Yes u were right The coin is that Indian Sacajawea how are you say that and the other one was the bicentennial 1776 bicentennial coin thank you I can’t say that word that Indian girl I think it’s Sacajawea OK that’s as good as I get thank you

[@wendyscraftingfriends]

[@lynngilbert9531]
