[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 5252345, member: 8267"]There is some resemblance.The most recent coins included in the belt are from 1845, so the belt was assembled sometime after that. I had assumed it would have been done in the mid to late 19th century, but I have no basis for that. Perhaps some member more familiar with jewelry might recognize the style of filigree around the coins,and be able to suggest a date. There is also the FK stamp, which I assume is related to whoever assembled it. Any and all help is much appreciated.[/QUOTE]
