<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aaroncab, post: 3064239, member: 3974&quot;]I didn&#039;t buy it for speculation on the mount&#039;s gold value that&#039;s for sure <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I definitely believe that is happening with cameos on Ebay in general though. I guess cameos are simply something that have grabbed my interest lately. I admire the craftmanship, the mythology/scenes that are displayed, the tiny details, the different materials/mediums they are carved out of.... etc... The Mrs hasn&#039;t ever owned one or worn one, or expressed any interest in doing so, so this isn&#039;t for her, it was definitely an impulse buy, simply to satisfy my curiosity (and impulsitivty!) at the time I saw the listing. I spent under $40 including shipping, so I&#039;m happy with how it turned out. The listing photos were pretty blurry but I could tell it had marcasites (which weren&#039;t mentioned in the listing) and the face looked &#039;art nouveau&#039;-ish so I figured it was possibly of that era.</p><p><br /></p><p>To the mark - I&#039;m trying to get better pics ...stand by.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it says 800 as well, but I don&#039;t really see anything that would indicate a cartouche around it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] and [USER=17433]@fridolina[/USER] for all of your knowledge!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT - I don&#039;t think that was my avatar?
