[QUOTE="Debora, post: 3818866, member: 1476"]The case is earlier than the 1960s by a decade or two. No, they're not coins. They're decorative and I very much doubt those cuff links were custom made. Think there's a little corporate synergy here. From wikipedia.org: [I][SIZE=3]"In 1953, Henry Birks and Sons bought out Roden Bros.

Not inconceivable that they developed a less expensive line to appeal to the mass customer. Debora[/QUOTE]
