[QUOTE="Antiquefan, post: 2177967, member: 14780"]Hi Let me first thank the OP for such an incredibly informative post with so much information, stunning! I recently received from a wonderful cousin, a cameo that was my Grandmothers that will go to my early teen age daughter someday. It is modest of course but priceless to the family and hoped to get a estimate of the date of creation If it from or before 1920, then it came from my Great Grandmother who came here with her husband as newlyweds from Ireland. My daughter will be the 4th generation to own this and wonder if might be 5th generation? All of the women who owned it loved it and it was lost once, 45 years ago (clasp slipped open and went missing at a public school and a sweet honest little girl turned it into the office!) found and has extra good karma thanks to the honest little girl. Sadly, we would have had a cameo for her from her maternal Great Grandmother but a burglar stole it years ago, ugh... Looks like it has an etched S that I never noticed on the back. Any info is helpful about age, materials and how it was made is greatly appreciated. I will make a copy of that info and keep it with the Cameo and include it when I gift it to her.[/QUOTE]
