Identifying and Valuing Vintage Stanhope Gold Charms

Question
I am very lucky and have found 2 gold stanhope charms.  They are in the shape of old television sets and each charm has a baseball player.  One is George Sisler from the 1930's and the other is Bucky Harrelson from the original Washington Senators (1930 or so)  can you tell me abything about these?  I imagine they are from the 50's but really have no idea.  I treasure them and will wear them, but would love to know something about the origination.
Thanks so much,
Best regards,
Wendy

Answer
Hello Wendy and thank you for your inquiry. I am not that familar with stanhopes. I have had several of the crosses with Lord's prayer inside. Your's sound very interesting. I found a site below that offers a lot of information along with collector's books and magazine that you might find helpful. It could be your stanhopes are rare and I encourage you to check with someone more knowledgable in that field of collecting. What you have could be a cross-over collectible - sought by stanhope collectors as well as baseball collectors.  Just copy and paste the below url into your browser address field and hit enter:
