Found these this afternoon. Still amazed they survived the centuries in a working field joined together. Does anyone have an age for these and the cuff button? The button is a Scoville so I'm thinking mid 19th c. on that.

I love those old cufflinks!, only ever found 1 intact, good job man!
 

The one looks like a navy buttom wow those look old the one in the bottom left looks ancient Good finds Thanks for sharing.. wish I could help!!!!!
 

Found a pair of old cufflinks recently which I believe are from the Victorian Era. Somehow yours looks to be somewhat older? Nice finds!
 

Nice finds. I like the cufflinks. I'm still looking for my first intact pair. Looks like there's a design of some sort on them. Any idea what it is? I can't make it out with the pics.

I thought there might be something on them and gave them a light tooth brushing but there's nothing there. Part of the surface layer is gone which gives them the look of something on them.

Did anyone have an idea of age on the cuff links? I want to put them in a case at some point and hope to know the period they were from. Interestingly, I found another partial set today. Just one side and the center link this time, and a different shape.
 

Nice cuff links! I've never found any. Thanks for sharing!
 

Congrats on the intact set of cufflinks. They date from about 1785 to 1815.
