Tony Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Does anyone have an idea what this is? It's probably around 50mm in length, silver in colour and the ring maybe there to hang something from it. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It looks like a clip for a chatelaine. It clipped to a woman's belt and held keys, scissors, bodkins, and other ladies' items on chains. I don't know if they were still in use by WWI, but were standard home apparel in earlier generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks Tom. I've always suspected it could be a key ring or similar but never knew it may have belonged to a woman. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
