FREE: LOVE KNOT STYLE VINTAGE / ANTIQUE CUFFLINKS ~~ GRANDPA'S !

The listing, LOVE KNOT STYLE VINTAGE / ANTIQUE CUFFLINKS ~~ GRANDPA'S ! has ended.

These Cufflinks are another remembrance of my delightful & much missed, Wandering Grandpa, Honorious.

Those of you that have attended some of my previous Grandpa Auctions, I'm sure remember what a Character he was.

As a Child, I was fortunate to be at Grandma Blanche & Grandpa Honorious's house almost every day, as my Mom & Dad both worked & Grandma looked after me at thier sprawling, old style, city Home.
Grandpa Honorious always seemed to be away more than Home, on some sort of Adventure or another, sometimes for months at a time, leaving Grandma alone, so I was great company for her & I got to see the inner workings of thier household ! Wow!

"Where's PaPa?" I would ask, & there was always another exotic or far away place that he had gone ~~

I guess after raising 7 Daughters, he was needing some personal space ~~ or ~~he was a Spy !! That's what I thought when I was 5 years old & Grandma Blanche never told me yes or no ~~

Anyhoo~~ on to these wonderful Cufflinks ~~

They are called "Bullet back" style & the T-Bar, can rotate 360 degrees, to facilitate thier insert into a "French Cuff" shirt.

They have absolutely no markings to point me in the correct direction to find out who the maker was or what the metal content is. This is not rare for older Vintage & Antique Cufflinks that were made during the Industrial Revolution, when mass production was possible.
I do not believe these are solid Gold & are probably Gold plated.
They are very well made & have some weight to them. There is no verdigris or darkening of the metal at all.
