    Hi all...I thought this may be a watch chain..but doesn't look like ones I have seen.
    Found about 20 years ago in with family pieces of jewelry.
    It is one long chain--permanently attached to end piece-- that goes through the 5 sided decor piece via 2 holes.. Length is about 14 "
    It is faintly marked with possible JF SS and also F ? 20 12kt. stamped one of end rings.
    I am at a loss....any info really appreciated.

    So it went over head and around neck? What is purpose of the "slide" ?

    Update...managed to decipher markings better ...JF SS which I know researched as JF Sturdy and Sons. 1-20 12 kt ..but does not say GF which I assumed was normal for time....???

    Up to the thirties. I think that kind of gold filled marking is mostly seen after 1900.
