This is approximately 1 1/8" in diameter and dates to the early 1900s. Made of gold filled metal, this locket pendant is a late Victorian to Edwardian era period piece which opens to reveal a double interior area to display little photos. On one side is an old photo in Sepia of a woman. Both sides have the original little metal frames and celluloid plastic covering for the photograph miniature.

It is marked by the manufacturer: W & SB GOLD SHELL.
The outside of the locket is hand engraved in lovely Edwardian script lettering. It looks like the letters: NMM or NMN. It's a bit hard to decipher though it is so lovely, anyone could enjoy it, despite their initials or name!
The locket is in fair to good vintage condition with some wear to the finish on the backside as well as a small dent. Still, it is quite lovely as it is and could be enjoyed and worn now or restored if desired. I am selling it as found and have priced it accordingly. A sweet locket and increasingly harder to find these authentic period pieces that are a century old! |
