Re: Anyone Know How Old?
I think that's just because it's stylized. Not a scale representation. I was going to guess 1910 or so on the date. ?

Re: Anyone Know How Old?
This style of cufflink was late Victorian, which is the Turn of the Century to about 1910. I have some, and will post the pic as soon as I can find them.

Re: Anyone Know How Old?
BCH, I couldn't find the cufflinks like the one you have, but they're around here somewhere . .so many shoeboxes full of MD junk . . .anyway, I did find these. The top 2 cufflinks were the style used 'before' yours, so they are circa 1880's. The bottom cufflink is newer than yours, but basically the same style, putting it around the Roaring '20s. Hope this helps. Breezie

Re: Anyone Know How Old?
My 1909 Sears Roebuck catalogue has cufflinks like the first two. I think 1920s would be about right.
Thanks

Re: Anyone Know How Old?
That car is what was called a horseless carriage. It came out before the model T. For some reason many were made in bicycle shops. I think this particular one is just generic of the few that were made before a real automobile was produced. Monty

Re: Anyone Know How Old?
I found this photo in an old car book I have that was published in 1953.
The attached photo looks similar, and may help you to date your cufflink.
Note that the car in photo has "hard" buggy-type wheels. It appears from
your own photo that the tires may be air filled rubber, which (according to my book) were introduced around 1900. Cars continued to look like this until around 1905.
So, unless your link car is just a generic image, I'd say it would be a safe bet to date the cufflink between c.1890 and c.1905.
(Ignore 1885 photo in upper left - that's something entirely different.)
Nice keeper ... too bad you didn't find two of them!

I found these on ebay, I can't tell if they are an exact match but they're pretty close. The seller says they are circa 1920's but doesn't list any references.

This thing has a tiller. "T" has a steering wheel.

Re: Anyone Know How Old?
I'm not sure if this will help, but according to my book, steering wheels first appeared on "some" cars in 1900. Prior to this most/all were Tiller, or rudder-stick type steering devices.
And, of course, there is always the possibility that the cufflink is merely a nostalgic look, and could have been made almost anytime in the earlier part of the century ... including on into the 1920's as the eBay guy suggest. If that's the case, you may never be able to identify it correctly unless some oldtimer comes along and says he used to own a pair back in ...
