    Cuff Link?

    I found this piece several years ago at Maryland Heights, near Harper's Ferry. Is it a cuff link? Can you tell me an approximate age?

    Yes, it is a cuff stud/link and it is from the late Victorian era. Very nice find Breezie

    Re: Cuff Link?

    Thanks for the ID. One more question please. Was there such a thing as a ladies cuff link? This one just doesn't look "manly" with the flower motif.

    My 1909 Sears Roebuck & Co. catalogue has them listed as GENTS' DUMB BELL PATTERN CUFF LINKS and many of them have a flower pattern.

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    Apparently they were sold into the Edwardian era as well.
