Very cool piece of Sterling Silver you got there!

 

[ivan salis]

its a 925 ( means -sterling silver as in 925 of 1000 parts pure silver) silver bolo tie type neck side . "plata" means "silver" in spanish --

 

[taropatch]

that find is as good as "oro" ...er I mean "plata". Very nice indeed. If bolo's are not a part of your wardrobe, they will be now :-)

Bolo tie is partially correct ... but "Scarf / Neckerchief" slide is more accurate. Bolos typically have braded strings or cords. Hopalong Cassidy wore one similar to this. Likely this was for a cowboy/goucho type scarf.

I suspect your's is some form of original, and that the Hoppy version may have been copied from it. (or vice versa - it depends on how old your's is ... and that, I'm sorry to say, I can't help you with, and will require the input from an expert! ) Any genuine Hoppy item would likely have his name on it like the one pictured below that I got from a collector's book. This kid's version has a ring attached to the back, as opposed to your's that is hollow chambered. (Note the similarity of the ears ... etc. on the Hoppy one )

Nice Find! Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I wish to personally thank Don for his tenacious input. He's the expert we needed. I didn't even see the big "AP" in the center, nor was I able to fully make out the "Hecho En Mexico" ! Good job Don !

I think Soda Bottle Bob got it right: Hopalong Cassidy Neckerchief Slide.
The slide did have a long-horned steer and the eyes were made of red glass (missing) and it did have a silver finish--at least some of the commercial ones.

The Mexican hallmark, "AP" can be found on other items made in the 40s.
