Old Mill Finds Early Naval Cufflink

[FortBedfordbob]

Hello Everyone, This is my First Today's Finds Post. Hope you enjoy the pics. DeArmitt Pa and I went back to the Woolen Mill, circa 1803, where he got the Large Cents Last Weekend. No more good coins just a Wheatie. I did manage a Pa. National Guard Button, Large and small flat buttons and this nice set of cufflinks. Tryed doing a Google search to find out the age of them but was not successful. They look pretty old. Best Hobby in the World isn't it ? Happy Hunting, Bob

Great cufflink! You should add "Early Naval cuffink" to your title so more people will see it. I'd guess British, and late 1700s wouldn't be a stretch. I'm not sure how accurate anyone can date these but it is early and a nice one.

That mill looks pristine for the detector. I would give a Colonial copper to detect that piece of history.

agreed, late 1700s (1790ish)!!! Not Naval, just civilian fashion at the time.

Why do you think that? There are anchor cuffliks that are a very good match for 1700s Naval officer buttons. Do you think they are civilian in general, or just this particular pattern?

A cufflink in Tice's book that is fairly close to this one is listed as: Ca. 1790-1820 Oval, flat, one piece in die struck with Royal Navy anchor device. London, England, but may have been made on the European continent.
Seems like the neutral road, neither saying Civilian or Military but think that means more likely Civilian?!.

But can it be a Royal Navy Anchor device if he is not considering it as military? If civilian it would just be an anchor device wouldn't it? The way it reads I think leans towards military.

I believe since he added that it could have been made on the European Continent is a way of saying "he don't know either"
