<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 270922, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Forty some years ago Gump's Department store in San Francisco had a huge sale on a lot of Chinese antiques. I remember seeing several necklaces matching yours. I ended up buying 6 or 7 scroll weights which were about 2" long. I used them as pulls on ceiling fans and on keys to furniture locks. i have to look around to see if I have any left. I always wondered what the words painted on them meant but never really asked. Now you have me wondering if they were real or not.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
