<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluemoon, post: 258508, member: 1296&quot;]I already mentioned this ornament in another thread but thought it wasn&#039;t conclusive enough.</p><p>This gutta percha ornament was glued to a clock from the 1880s (clearly a later addition, I looked it up, it is not a part of the clock case design)</p><p>One of you suggested it might be mourning jewellery. But was it specifically an ornament meant to be attached somewhere in the home or just a repurposed piece of mourning jewellery?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking of putting it in a nice little frame or have it made into a piece of jewellery. What do you think? Ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>The shiny brown stuff on the piece is glue. Oh, and if it&#039;s really mourning jewellery, the ironic &quot;farewell&quot; on the right side in the second picture was not a case of intentional placement. I&#039;ve never even read the book (page) I used as a background for this and only noticed afterwards.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80579[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
