Title: Cufflinks Post by: jaydogg on March 01, 2012, 07:26:13 PM Amidst the cracking through the wreck of my headphones and using a spade that was literally snapped, I managed to find these cufflinks. They are complete and most likely date from the late 18th century. I have never found silver cufflinks before so it was nice to find these in complete condition. There is a maker’s mark on the actual link but I haven’t given it much attention yet. Enjoy. :)

It's a pity you didn't find the other half. :( Give me a shout Neil and we'll sort something out.
