This is one of those pieces that makes you wonder about its past life.
This large hinged case measures approximately 3 inches and may have been used as a pocket card case, compact, or possibly even a locket. We're not completely sure what its original purpose was, but that's part of the fun. Whatever it was meant to hold, we think it has fantastic potential as a photo locket, especially with its generous size.
The metal is untested and the piece does not appear to be signed. It has plenty of age-related tarnish and wear and could use some cleaning and polishing, if that's what its next owner prefers. We're selling it as-is, so please take a good look at all of the photos and condition details.
We especially love the idea of giving this one a second life. Put a favorite photograph inside, use it as a jewelry project, or simply keep it as an intriguing little piece of vintage history.
A great oddball piece for someone who likes their vintage jewelry with a little mystery and a lot of potential.
