| H. Pomerantz Herman Pomerantz produced belt buckles, buttons, and jewelry from the 19th century, possibly as early as the 1890s. The company continued until about 1960. He patented several designs during the 1930s and early 1940s, and the patent drawings will soon be posted on this site. In the 19th century H. Pomerantz seems to have limited production to belts, buckles, book chains and buttons. I have an H. Pomerantz brooch with a C-clasp in my possession, but I believe it is a early 20th century piece. Pomerantz did make a great deal of very large Victorian Revival jewelry circa 1930-40. H. Pomerantz jewelry with textured backs and AB rhinestones were made circa 1960. There are at least 4 signatures: "H. Pomerantz & Co. N.Y.," "H. Pomerantz Inc. N.Y.," "H. Pomerantz Co." and just "H. Pomerantz." Some try to date the jewelry by the signatures, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to them. Anyone who has information otherwise, please contact me. Thank you. I am currently researching H. Pomerantz accessories and jewelry and more information or corrections may be forthcoming. | |||

H. Pomerantz Rhinestone Frog Pin Here is one of the most delightful vintage frog pins I have ever seen. The gilded pot pot metal cast setting is very much like another unsigned Art Deco frog we've seen, but with Pomerantz it can be sometimes be difficult to tell the dating. This could be circa 1930s to early 1950s. Crystal and emerald green navettes decorate this sweet little guy's arms and feet. Look at those adorable splayed, barely webbed hands and toes. He's an aristocrat of frogs. The round beaded eyes and oval middle look so much like carnelian you could really pass it off as such, but I believe these stones a very hard semi-transparent vintage plastic. They are not bakelite. Barely 1 7/8" tall, this Duke of Lilly pads is 1 5/8" wide at the widest. The frog is a symbol of rebirth. transformation and creativity, and could very well become your signature piece. Very Good condition. $78 |

H. Pomerantz Antique Celtic Knight Belt & Buckle Circa 1890. A very unusual find intact. I have seen a photo of another H. Pomerantz warrior buckle--a Samurai. Perhaps H. Pomerantz made an entire line of warrior belts. If so, it would be quite a challenge to collect them all. The 3" x 2" buckle is of shining silvertone and gilded openwork stamped with clovers, vines, & various textures. There are also applied metal embellishments, including the centerpiece bearded Celtic knight, his armor designed in a convex cross shape. He rises about 1/2" high; at first I thought it might open, locket style, but there are no hinges. The belt itself is made of a remarkable gold tone flexible tank-track style engraved linkage, about 1 inch wide. The belt clasps at 28-30." The buckle can be removed of course, to add to another belt if desired. Belt and buckle are both in Very Good condition; there's a bit minor wear on the gilding showing through silvertone. The blackish color is tarnish on the back of the buckle and in depressions. Marked H.POMERANTZ & CO. N.Y. $125.00 |
