This listing is for one READY TO SHIP Scorpio Peep Show Token Locket on a brass chain. Necklace ships in 1-5 business days from purchase.
Peep shows were establishments popular from the 1960s-1980s where one would purchase brass tokens and then enter a room with a curtained window. You would then place a token in a slot and the curtain would open, revealing an erotic film or often a live performance.
I collect these hard-to-find vintage brass tokens to turn into jewelry. Some of them feature a zodiac sign on one side with a corresponding characteristic and sex position on the back. These astrological tokens are particularly fun for lockets, as from the outside the jewelry is innocent. Only you and the people you choose to share with know its cheeky secret ;)
Each token is slightly larger than a US quarter. Locket is lacquered to protect shine, and comes on a raw brass chain.
Please allow for subtle differences and “imperfections” in each piece. There were different pressings of these tokens with minute differences in design, and some pieces may have a bit of wear from their former life of use in the peep show house. In addition, each locket is made by hand. Occasionally interior "naughty" images inside of locket will be upside-down, depending on how the token was minted.
