[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 586708, member: 5006"]The elongated open cut links in the chain are typical of decor on Chinese grooming/smokers tools attached to chinese "chatelaines".:bookworm: The triangles at each end of the chain make it look 1920s Occidental style. I think Chinese (as the marks tell the story:)), custom made for a foreigner in the 1920s, maybe for attaching a purse to a belt.:cyclops:[/QUOTE]
