The closure looks like it was added later. </p><p>So I would say a 19th century belt, made into a bracelet in the first half of the 20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I&#039;ve got very old wrists, it is a perfect size for me.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
