<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 9769620, member: 13430"]This is a mid-1900's bracelet or cuff made by Industria Peruana of Peru. It is marked 900, but it also has an SP which could be the artist initials, but I suspect it means it's silver plate. One of the sections has some odd bubbling looking thing going on, which also makes me think plate. But would silver plate also be marked 900? What's the point of that? Although I couldn't find any just like this, there are similar Peruana bracelets, and the sellers always just say .900 silver. It's pretty heavy (the little figures are very three dimensional though maybe hollowed in back), so it would have a fair value just from the melt value of silver alone if it were actually .900. What do you think?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]481444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481445[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481447[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481449[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481465[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
