D'Andrea 355 Thin Pick / Plectrum (1930s Yellow Mother of Pearl)
Introducing: Jayme's Plectrum Picks®, a divisionof Jack's Guitarcheology.
Jayme is Jack's partner in business and in life, and she is quite thevintage guitar pick aficionado. She has spent all of her spare time the lastfew months reading articles on D'Andrea and watching Joe Macey (RIP to alegend) videos. So, without further adieu, let's talk plectrums with Jayme:
A thin, 355 triangle pick made by D’Andrea in the 1930s. Amazingly enough, this is notprinted or dyed – this is how they patterned the celluloid. It's a yellowing mother of pearl pattern with a few translucent spots. The pick has clearly been played, as one of the corners is more worn down than the others. But that just speaks to its ability to stand the test of time!
All our picks are stored in a case with plenty ofcirculating air. I will ship it in a coin flip to ensure stability in transit,but please do not store it in this container long-term. Celluloid is anunstable plastic that is prone to disintegration when it doesn't get enoughair. The shipping cost allows us to ship with a bubble mailer and a trackingnumber. International packages will come first class.
