Featured Cufflinks - What Age?

Hi all,
I picked up these cufflinks as they came in their box and I like things in boxes. They are small, 7/8", no marks. What age do you think they are? Maybe early 1900s? Is there a name for the design?
Any information appreciated.
thanks for looking

 

Don't know, but I like them! Nice mourning brooch, too!

 

They look like fixed back cufflinks,but they appear to be a "marriage"
of parts which started with different pieces.

 

thank-you Barn Owl

Thank-you Holly, I think they have been repaired

 

I would guess early 1900s
Rolled gold (type or early plating - sort of)
I don't think there is any marriage of parts.

 

The soldered round "pads" are original to the piece and used for a different purpose.The fixed backs appear to have been crudely cut off of another piece.They do appear to be "plated",but the pads look like gold solder was used and backs have mystery solder. Age would be a wild guess since they are die struck and fixed back cuff links are still being made.

 

thank-you INH

thank-you Pat I think these have age too rather than recently made
I don't think there is a marriage of parts either.

 

I see no marriage, I've seen identical backs on cufflinks here. Agree on the dates and probably rolled gold. Box looks right.

 

thank-you bear Yes, I like them sitting in the box, really shows off the design on them.

 

These backs were used on cuff links made for the USMA (West Point) and Naval Academy in the 1950s. You might be able to get more on maker by looking them up.

If this is what you are talking about


This is the way cuff links were made at the turn of the century.
Rolled gold was an inexpensive alternative to gold at the time.
They would have been considered the "Swank" of the period.
This type of cuff link could have been ordered out of the Sears catalog.

 

This pair is pretty; I've been known to wear men's french cuff shirts and so of course wear the cuff links too. They're the reason to wear the shirts, naturally. These were probably fairly standard for their day.
