<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 433176, member: 5833"]Just checking. You mean the small opening in the back that looks like it was needed somehow to complete the assembly? Because I would like to see the opening in the female side that accommodates the male bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bracelet I think was once gilt brass, finish mostly worn off now, that uses this type of clasp. (I think of them as box & tongue; is there a standard name for them?) Would be interested in comparing, although the shape of mine seems to have been dictated by the chains it holds on the other side, so it may be atypical. Bracelet is definitely not from mid-20th.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
