    sorry if the photos are sideways...

    got this in today from an auction and not quite sure what to make of it.

    it's really pliable brass, kind of a repousse look floral design on sides
    and what I think is a light enamel coat
    marked China kind of... chi backwards N and upside down A
    and Chi backwards N and nothing

    resin design... not sure what to call these old guys, but I am sure OLD GUYS isn't proper, either

    any thoughts? I can't seem to find a match on the interet

    thanks!
    Karen

      What an interesting bracelet. The word CHINA is stamped in mirror image. How odd.

      Yes, sad about Prince. Saw him in 1981 opening for the Stones... not at all what LA was used to. Booed off stage... 3 sets. Little did we know that he'd be so big!

      val - it could be new or it could be 50 years old. Really hard to be definite without knowing anything else about it. Looks don't always tell the story. I can say that I've never seen any jewelry with the word "CHINA" stamped in mirror image.

      extremely hard for Prince to open for The Stones... everything that wasn't tied down was thrown at the stage. Lasted 3 sets. Nobody knew who he was.
      Efesgirl - this is a hard one... regardless of age, it's still unique and beautiful.

      I didn't flip it... I was lucky to get it uploaded to begin with!
