allright guys:
what you see is all there is no buckle, just the long links and round connectors.
this farm was built in the early 1800. but at one time owned by a store owner.
he had the store from 1890 to 1925. it burnt in that year.
in a shed near the old house i found some tobbaco plug markers. I'll post them some time.being not found with a detector not for this forum i would think.
also they're use to be a fair grounds across the road on his land.
h.h.

Oldtimer82, can you give us a beter photo?
It seems that the motif is repeated 14 time, all way round.
Someone presents something to a king or God?

looks exactly like a piece of costume jewelry (necklace) that was in my wife's fathers antique store....except the one there had an aztec design and was from the mid 50's

I have a similar item such as yours....but it has a vintage pocket watch attached to the end of it. A watch fob.....from around 1920 to 1925, Egyptian revival jewelry. Perhaps yours is also a watch fob? Very nice find for you.....mine was bought at a yard sale about 20 years ago for $2.00.
