<p>[QUOTE="dcfirebottle, post: 2220319, member: 6388"]Found at the bottom of an inherited jewelry box. It has the mark of Riker bros. Has a 14k mark underneath that. Way too small to photograph. On the other side is what I think is an enamel little flower. Looked up RB and found out they used that mark from roughly 1864 till they closed in the 1940's. Any ideas on where this might fall into?</p><p>I figure it was once attached to something else like maybe a bracelet? I know they made a lot of those. Maybe a watch? I can see why it came off, it's so fine, (not in quality but size). Also should 14k gold tarnish like that, even if it's been sitting for a hundred years? I know it's nothing valuable but I thought it would be interesting to post.</p><p>All comments welcome and appreciated, even the bad ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]254976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254977[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
