[QUOTE="LauraGarnet02, post: 4289786, member: 20118"][USER=23]@Bev aka thelmasstuff[/USER] If the black stuff ever was intentional, by the point in history that it came into my possession it was all crusty and lumpy, LOL. I do think it originally had some kind of a silver colored plating, maybe nickel or just some silver colored paint, I don't know. It did have a goldish colored metallic shine showing through in some spots, which is why I thought the base metal was brass for so long. Whatever it was it came off with the black stuff, it's gone now. So, to the best of my knowledge, all that black crud was tarnish and accumulated dirt. And that reminds me, thinking of all the years that it tarnished and accumulated dirt. Can I date this by the clasp?[/QUOTE]
