Bracelet or Curtain or Napkin holder or??

[Rene G]

I've had this for a while and have always thought it was a bracelet. But I got to thinking ...it is quite heavy for a bracelet and not that pretty. It is Sterling .925 and has something typed on the inside that I can't make out.

I found it at a site of a demolished "Cat" house. There were all the facilities of any hotel at the site at one time. The site was dated around 1945/55 and was located next to a railroad track in Florida.

Question is, what could it be other than an ugly heavy bracelet?

My vote is bracelet.


How big is it across?

I knew I had forgotten something...lol It's 2 1/2 inches and seems kinda small in diameter for a bracelet

That is an odd size. Too big for a ring. Too small for a bracelet.

I'm gonna think about this one some more...

Well, here's my WAG

A silver napkin ring holder.

2 1/2 inches --awful small for a bracelet unless its a kids one --too big fer a ring --- napkin ring would be my guess --

could have been a hoop earring ?

i feel the size is right for a bracelet. i looked over the web finding many that were 2 1/2".

If it was a "cat" house, maybe a ring for "other purposes" ? Size wise, who am I to judge?

Looks like a babies christening bracelet (bangle) to me.Used to be very popular before the 80's and always of silver.

More than likely a childs bracelet - looks to be in the same style as many of the Mexican silver bracelets out there.

I'm with Gabbit on this one. I have found quite a few (thrift stores, yard sales) "silver" bracelets with the stamp, and I believe it's Mexico, and from Taxco. Taxco does put out sterling, but they put out some lesser silver as well. And yes, my best guess--child's bracelet.

I guess it could be a child's bracelet. It makes the most since to me. It's just that it's so heavy and ridged and unattractive. Oh well, Thanks guys for the ideas, I appreciate it.
