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.  :)

Nice find Jaydogg - I think you are on the money with the date.

May be able to meet up on the weekend - "That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten!"

I'll give you a bell tomorrow.

Cheers guys, was well stoked. Mine has exactly the same design as the one you found Alan; it must be a common design. It's a pity you didn't find the other half.  :( Give me a shout Neil and we'll sort something out.

Nice to find them still together, your right the design is the commonest of them all but still a nice bit of silver for the collection. ;)
