    The marks are on the back of a bail attached to a piece of jade in the form of a small scroll...

    Thanks, Tyeldom!

    I "think" it might be a flower(?) with the #4 at middle....not sure.

    I suppose the mark doesn't matter?, it's the jade, but still would love to know who or what mark that is. The bail's style appears Art Deco(?) to me, but I could be wrong.

    Could be a watch fob and date from the periods when gents wore pocket watches in their waistcoats.

    Thanks, AF!

    Didn't think of it possibly being a watch fob/pendant.

    Thanks!

    I don't think the bail is old enough for that. The whole thing could easily be Chinese though, a pendant for a lady. If that's a Chinese maker's mark you'll never find it. The jade bit might be older than the gold holding it.

    It sorta looks like its shaped like a toggle,I wonder if it was a Chinese version of the button ?

    Agreed. Thank you.

    The bail's bar goes all the way through the top portion of the jade.

    @ Johnny, thanks. The jade appears to be in the shape of a small un-inscribed scroll or possibly an inkrest. I'll search toggle/button and see what I can find. Thank you!
