<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 604674, member: 5833"]I have one with very similar construction. Just pulled it out to compare. Mine has more wear to the silver finish, so that the decorative balls are also now the gold tone of the underlying brass. If the back of yours is like mine, the MOP cameo is covered over by the metal. The hinge & clasp on mine are 20th century & do not appear to have been replaced. It would be of interest to see the back of yours. Older style findings do not always guarantee an older piece. Mine is vintage, but not antique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
