    I very much assume this is a personalized item that only had meaning to the owner, giver, and maybe those close to them. However I figured I may as well check to see if anyone recognizes any wider significance or interest here? Gold filled, made by Ballou, guessing made not too long after the latter date. 355CEE7A-E987-43CE-BE93-D4391BC07B60.jpeg

    50th wedding anniversary I would guess. Their initials on either side of the G (their surname.)

    Sounds logical to me. We may never know who they were.

    Probably an ironing board. (ducks) I'd hope a matching necklace.

    A pin, I bet. In a similar Art Deco design.
