Antique Round 12K Gold Filled Locket Engraved “PM” w/ VERY Unique Photo Display on 14 GF Chain w/ Patent Mark Ca Early 1900s Estate Jewelry

$150.00

Description:
Wonderful and rather large round antique gold filled locket featuring an engraved front with the initials "PM” in and block script that hangs on a new 14K gold filled curb chain that is 22" long.

The PM monogram is inside a square cartouche that is at the top left. There are vertical pinstripes on either side of the cartouche. All around the edges is a small etched design.

The locket has the most unusual way of opening - it is split down the middle and slides open to show a triangular shaped photo compartment. There is a tiny mechanism on the bottom that is a small round that slips into an opening on the other side of this tiny closure.

The back side of this circa early to mid 1900s locket is plain with no decoration. Hiwever, the outer edges have some tiny etched designs. The locket opens from the bottom and has a hinge on the top.

NOTE: The locket is hallmarked 1/20 12K GF with a W inside an inverted triangle. A Patent Pending mark is also inside this locket. I believe this is the hallmark for the JJ White Manufacturing Company of Providence, RI that was established circa the late 1890s.

The locket hangs from a new hallmarked 14K gold filled curb chain that has a spring ring clasp closure. The clasp opens and closes securely.

There is a triangular shaped photo compartment inside this vintage locket. It currently has one old black and white photo of a boy inside. While the shape is a triangle, the bottom is curved or rounded.
