THIS LISTING IS FOR A REALLY OLD RAILROAD CUFF OR HARVEY ERA PIECE. IT IS COIN SILVER AND MARKED COIN SILVER ALSO WITH THE LETTERS I H (INDIAN HANDMADE). THE FRONT FEATURES A REPOUSEE FLOWER WITH A GREEN TURQUOISE NATURAL STONE IN THE MIDDLE. IT HAS THREE BANDS OF SILVER ACROSS THE FRONT WITH SUNSHINE STAMPING ON THE SCALLOPED EDGES. THEN COME THE TWO BALLS ON THE ENDS AND THE ARMS ARE HEAVILY STAMPED TO THE END WITH TRIBAL SYMBOLS. THIS MEASURES 5 1/8″ INSIDE DIAMETER WITH A 1 1/4″ GAP. ITS WEIGHT IS 16.3 GRMS. AND IT MEASURES 1 HIGH WHERE THE FLOWER IS. THIS HAS SOME PRETTY REPOUSEE WORK ON THE PETALS GIVES THEM A PUFFY LOOK. THIS IS A LARGER CUFF. MY WRIST IS CLOSE TO 6 AND THIS IS WAY TOO BIG ON ME JUST AS A REFERENCE. THIS IS A VERY OLD RAILROAD CUFF AND COIN SILVER WAS USED WHEN SILVER HAD BEEN SCARSE FOR A BIT. THE WORK ON IT HOWEVER IS NOT DIMINISHED IN FACE FOR ITS AGE SOME OF THE TECHNIQUES WERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. AS I MENTIONED IN THE CONDITION OF THIS, IT APPEARS TO HAVE A BIT OF LEFTOVER CEMENT AROUND THE NATURAL STONE. I DON’T WANT TO MESS AROUND TRYING TO CLEAN IT. THE STONE IS IN THERE TIGHT AND HAS HELD UP THIS LONG! THIS IS MORE THAN LIKELY CIRCA 30’S. If you can only wear sterling silver, you can put clear nail polish on the inside of the cuff, works well.
