Questions & Comments

This is a gold filled piece, as 12K was only used for gold filled, very common for that time period and for these hinged bracelets. Gold filled means more gold is used than just plating; but the base metal is brass. GF pieces are desirable as they remain shiny and are higher quality than electroplated gold pieces, which did not start until after 1900s.

When you say real gold, do you have any idea if it is plated or filled?

I have no idea
What does filled mean

While researching this item
I found the ones from the 1910s are
Marked gold filled or 12k
This one only has hallmark of mh&co
Meaning an early date of 1890s
Which were mostly 12k
So I don't think it's gold filled
But I'm not sure
If any one knows more about this
Maker please let us know

Does it have the safety chain or is it missing?

Oct 2nd, 2014 at 10:10:58 AM PDT by

I've seen others from this company
Made without them

I was trying to do some research on this bracelet & saw one by the same company go for $175 bucks on Ebay recently. So it must really cost much more. F/W&B.

Well, I have to tell you, I have let my points get a little low and the bidding has bypassed me, or I would be all over this piece. It is so rare that a really nice old piece comes along. Good luck.
