[QUOTE="JewelryPicker, post: 9468800, member: 20513"]Picked this up at a yard sale this morning. Not my best score this morning, but definitely a nice piece Victorian gold filled locket, simply covered in design work, with black enamel on the front. The locket has 4 sections with 3 hinges, allowing for it to hold a whopping 8 photos. Though, one of the inner sections that would allow a front and back photo, is missing it’s beveled glass for the one side, basically making it unable to hold either a front or back photo. When it was shown to me, it contained a single old photo, whom the owner identified as either her grandmother or great grandmother. The owner was probably in her 80’s. for whatever reason, she wanted to sell it, but didn’t have it out on the table. After I asked if she was selling any jewelry she chuckled and said that’s all anyone is asking for this morning. (That tells me I got a late start).
