Title: cup saucer and spoon in one go
Post by: mickycoin "mick" on November 04, 2009, 04:23:18 PM
hi all when i first found this piece i thought it was the stud from an item of clouthing, it measures about 3/8 of an inch in dia , i think its silver but cannot find a hall mark, where they would put it anyway would be a miracle,its about 1/4 inch thick.. i had a nice surprise when i looked again with a glass,as  the mince pies are not what they used to be, would imagine its from a charm bracelet??   ;D ;D  mick

That was a nice little thing to find,i agree that it`s probably a charm for a bracelet.

Is that a small hole in the handle of the spoon i can see? If it is then thats where  the little circular loop would have been which then would of attached to the bracelet.

I like that Mick - well found. I think you are right with the charm bracelet theory.

hi paul, yes you are not sure what is coming next, thats the great thing about our hobby, as for dissplaying it, it would have to go behind a magnifiying glass top or you probably mean in a case or similar, thanks for the nice comments anyway mickycoin  mick ;D
