<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1857966, member: 5833"]The locket & chain remind me of the one my mother had from her youth, guessing from around 1940, when she was in her mid-teens. Think this one was gussied up during WWII or while servicemen were still deployed afterwards as a sweetheart gift. I have an operculum bracelet that uses war time British coins to support them & have seen another that used American coinage from the Philippines, US Navy emblems between each operculum & coin panel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
