<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 2415989, member: 360&quot;]I bought these on eBay over the weekend, and they&#039;d just arrived this morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>These cufflinks, in white and blue enamel on sterling silver, depict the crest, or coat of arms of my old highschool - Scotch College in Melbourne.</p><p><br /></p><p>The school dates from 1851, and over the next 70-odd years, they had numerous different school badges, arms, etc. The current design wasn&#039;t finalised until 1924. So they can&#039;t be older than that. But even so, that means they&#039;re nearly 100 years old!</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re in flawless condition. I don&#039;t think they&#039;ve ever been used, and I know that they must be very rare. The school archive (which I have visited), does not, to my knowledge, have a set of antique school cufflinks in its collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The school does still sell cufflinks, but nothing of this quality. Not these days. Now they&#039;re all gold-plated and stuff. This is real, old-world quality. Nearly 100 years old and absolutely flawless <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]263737[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263739[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;DAMMAN&#039;S STG SIL&quot;, on the back.
