    I already showed you here earlier the WWI 'Fumsup, knock on wood' goodluck brooch and the silver Fumsup/Kewpie doll charm, and now I also found a silver 'Billiken' charm and a small gold filled charm. The gold filled one reads: Je suis Biliken le petit dieu de la veine.
    If you are interested you can read all about the Biliken history here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiken
    (Created in 1908 by Florence Pretz).
    And more about Fumsup and other good luck charms: https://thelifeofjewels.com/white-heather-and-fumsup-lucky-jewellery-in-the-first-world-war/
    So, do you guys have some cute jewelry to show?

    I only have a silver and wood Fumsup. It is on the charm necklace my grandmother gave me. Since the Netherlands was not involved in WWI, it could have come from our Belgian relatives or from Belgian refugees who stayed in my g-grandparent's home.
    Come to think of it, there is also a billiken on the necklace. It scared me when I was little.:nailbiting:

    AJ, how amazing to have both of them on a family heirloom bracelet!
    I hope the bracelet brought luck to your ancestors.
    I do think this billiken looks cute but indeed I have seen some more scary looking ones online.
