Thank you! The diameter is 16mm I'm assuming it's from 1890 and not 1800 because of the quality of the strike and also the collaring used during the strike. I feel like an 1800 date would be a little crude, with no collar. Report this Post to the Staff

Something made specifically to be turned into a button, or as part of a chain. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
