<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 46769, member: 111&quot;]Definitely not the original card, they&#039;re clearly not silver - to my eye, they appear to be well-aged gilt or gold-plated brass with faint remnants of the gold still present.&nbsp; They would have been inexpensive links, with that design, would guess they were made sometime from the 1890s into the 1920s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Messi was on the right track, the card refers to links intended for soft cuffs (and double/French cuffs), it most likely dates to right around the first quarter of the 20th century, when the soft, rather than stiff, cuffs were becoming popular (the &#039;Kum-A-Part&#039; snap cuff buttons were developed for soft cuffs).&nbsp; The trademark on the card is aggravatingly familiar to me, but can&#039;t seem to pull it up from the confusion in my brain.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1912:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]11742[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>1910s:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]11743[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>1922:</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]11744[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
