Been hitting the tot lots quite a bit lately, and cleaning up on the clad and junk jewelry. But I've knocked a few more doors and opened up several new permissions. This happened and I can honestly say, I was shocked. In pretty decent shape with a nice patina, too!
Very nice rescue

Amazing how well those hold up in the dirt after getting leeched for 150 years of so. So fine in fact that you can even see how worn they were when lost. Yours is exquisite WTG
