Family&#039;s original owner died in 1940 (born 1909).&nbsp; But it was a cherished object by her, so we believe it was inherited. </p><p><br /></p><p>Location: Germany</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a wedding 1907 of her mother that this could&#039;ve been a present for. Or older..</p><p>Based on clasp, it&#039;d have to be at least newer than 1890.&nbsp; But I can&#039;t prove anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s marked 333 (8k gold in germany). It has a Maker&#039;s Mark.</p><p>The maker&#039;s mark may be a Star of David with the number 2 in the middle - the stamp is only partially present. Otherwise its more of a stylized xV2...&nbsp; but it really looks like part of a star.&nbsp; Note, my family has no jewish ancestry. I&#039;d guess the maker was Jewish, and it was purchased before Jews were persecuted.&nbsp; So do any of you have a collection of jewish maker&#039;s marks?</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos can be seen in full resolution at <a href="https://imgur.com/a/ZKgZl" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/a/ZKgZl" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/ZKgZl</a> including the maker&#039;s mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked but our nearby library system doesn&#039;t have books on maker&#039;s marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
