    Sorry for pics, these are the best I could get. Locket on back think there may be a 9 and 375 and an anchor? Very worn away.
    Link on chain may say 0.6?
    Catch on chain possibly same as on locket.
    No markings inside locket.
    Any idea of age and value ?

    9 and 375 are an indication that it is 9ct gold, the Anchor indicates it was assayed in Birmingham.
    If you weigh it in grams I can give you today's scrap value.

    Where I have marked with a red arrow is the date letter, but I can't read it.
    If you can get a closer clear photo of the mark then it can be dated.

    The design is classic, which is great for wearing but LOUSY for dating. I'd say vintage but not antique, post WWII probably. Probably. That date letter would settle the matter.

    Looks like the 1938 O.

    Too worn to call, could be 1913, 1938 or 1919 "U"
    Age does not add to the value really.

    Another vote for the O. Somebody wore this early and often.
