circa 1860; length 3 1/4, width 2 1/2 inches; excellent condition; now set up as a pin (see third photo). While we don't usually favor altered goods, a belt buckle which would have originally been knotted with a thin silk band is of limited use, but a pin will sit quite happily upon your sweater.

click for details		Bruce Cherner Antique Silver PHONE: 978.635.8089 $495.00
Kheechong, Canton circa 1825, length 13 1/2 inches, monogrammed "DR". Heavy and in excellent condition, with the classic "inset v" construction on both shells (front & back), bold shell drop (please see third photo).
