CUFFLINKS Thread! Best, Oldest, Most Unique, or just found!

[Iron Patch]

Post your... Complete cufflink or just a single side/ individual cufflink button.

1) Found with a Rev War Officer button, the cufflinks were no doubt his.

2) Solid silver, "B" represents the surname from the site. (Beers)

3) Tallyho - looking at this one again I'm pretty sure I can clean it better.

4) Sailing Ships

5) Very early hot air balloon.

6) For years I've wondered about these 3 glass ones with the back to back letter C. All were from different sites, both with French and British finds. Just a few weeks ago looking up a French coin I see that Besancon, France used the same exact mark as a mint mark on their coins so that might finally be my answer.

7) A soldier marked "British Volunteer."

8.) Ornate - Gold & silver plate.

[timekiller]

Patch they are what they are.But here is mine for 09' Have not been on for a few. Are you getting bored already? It's going to be a long winter for you I see. We just got blasted again today with another storm. Going to have to get around and see what's washed out huh? Want to do some woods stuff I've been waiting on hunting season to get over.At least rifle season been peppered with shot gun pellets before but don't think a rifle round would be that great. Anyway here they are buddy.

Very very nice finds gentleman, and timekiller, after seeing your octagon shaped cufflinks I guess mine is just one side to a set like yours.. Do you agree?

Yes, the shape, design, and type of shank, all says one side of an early cufflink.

IP, without a doubt some of yours are great, love the specially designed ones, hope many more post them, interesting to see the different styles but also to see how many of us have the same designed ones. I will post later for sure.

Some Awsome Cuff Links There.

Would Take Too long to Dig all mine Out
& Try & Get such Clear pics also
But My Favorite Pair are Plain
& were found in 2004
at the French & Indian War Fort
FORT HALIFAX

 

[Don in SJ]

Yes Jeff, despite being plain, they are a great find since you can associate history with those cufflinks!

My early cuff links are buried away with each site that I catalog (of importance) but I do have some to post that were in my misc. box. I also have about 20 that I have to clean yet from this year.
Sorry for the half-a$$ pictures.
Nice finds everyone!!!!
Thanks I.P. for the great thread.

Great cufflinks, everyone.

Jeff, those Fort Halifax ones are very special! The history there makes it even better!

Don, the one with the date of 1744 is Spanish-related, right? I know Steve in PA has found them on his early sites.

 

[mile-ender]

Those are some damn fine cufflinks gentlemen!

 

[[email protected]]

A couple more that were with these other type of cuff links? (picture 2) Do they count?
I won't plague this thread with anymore pictures until I dig out my early ones.

You have a very impressive collection & I like your Fav as well with the Fox in close second.

Not found that many compared to buttons, still got a few tucked away from this year waiting to show the farmers. Gave a couple of Silver ones away, but otherwise this is it.

Always a good day if you get a Silver one

 

[CRUSADER]

PS. not sure if this is one

Updated:

I remembered I had a Silver & Gold plated one which I found 15 odd years ago, just dug it out my scrap silver bag along with a couple of others, so they are now in there rightful place

 

[shaun7]

I don't think I'll bother
