Vintage 1950s Silver-Tone Nagasaki Japan Enamel Tie Clip Souvenir Judo Figural

Japan souvenir tie clips from the mid-century travel era are rarely this complete — original wooden presentation box intact.

A mid-century silver-tone tie clip with an oval enamel face depicting Nagasaki. The oval is divided into two scenes: white enamel with a pagoda tower on the left, and cobalt blue enamel with a raised silver-tone judo figure in relief on the right, separated by a red banner reading "NAGASAKI" in gold lettering.

The clip mechanism is a standard spring-slide bar in silver-tone metal. The wooden box retains its green felt interior and opens cleanly.

The scale is understated — the oval face sits flush against a tie without bulk. Works with a slim or standard tie, and reads as a conversation piece rather than decoration. The kind of clip a collector notices immediately.
