Antique Edwardian Round Gold Filled Locket - Rhinestone Crescent Moon HMC Monogram W & SB Hallmark Photo Locket Necklace Vintage Early 1900s

$135.00 $150.00


Description:

Large locket with a history!! Lovely antique Edwardian gold filled round photo locket on a gold filled chain that is hallmarked for the W&SB Company. Front features a paste or rhinestone crescent moon shape.

The back of this vintage locket has an engraved initials "HMC" in an old cursive font. The lettering is large and takes up most of the center of the back of this locket pendant.

Inside the locket there are two places for photos and both have the original frames and one has a clear cover intact. Currently there is an old photo inside and a handwritten note. It appears to be the original photo - black and white. Two woman are shown in the photo and the other side has writing "Hilda Sachs 17 Gordon Ave. Kitchener, Ont. Canada". When I did a search for Hilda, it appears she was born in 1896 and lived in Canada, married to Louis and did not appear to have any children.

NOTES:
This locket, which is circa late 1800 or early 1900s, is hallmarked for the W. & S. Blackinton Co. of Meriden, CT that was in business beginning in the late 19th century.

This locket can be purchased with or without the new chain. You can select your preference at checkout.

This antique round locket hangs from a new 22" long 14K gold filled rope chain in the photos.

The large locket, that has its hinge on the bottom, opens easily and closes securely. The spring ring clasp on the rope chain also closes securely.
