    Hi all!:)
    I just got this broken heavy 26g Resized_20230331_125951~2_1959654922038868.jpeg Resized_20230331_122213~2_1959656097502906.jpeg Resized_20230331_125942~2_1959699903952182.jpeg chain from Ireland.

    Oh WOW! I must say I have never seen anything like that before. Not sure I would wear it even though I like snakes and lizards. I bet the Gothic folks would love that!

    Great combo, kyra.:) A nicely detailed, sturdy chain for you rhino-lizard skull.
    The mark isn't in my Hougart, but it is an older mark imo. I think between 1950 and 1970, thereabouts.

    Maybe @reader knows the mark.:)

    You don't suppose it's just T for Taxco do you?

    Eegad = e-gad I think (as in oh my gosh)

    The chain is dead on for that thing. Generally a mark without the eagle (bell to some folks) means pre-1950s. But they may have just ran out of space.

    Aww, thank you, I think it complements perfectly Wally the saurian:happy:
    Thanks for searching in your book:pompous::kiss:I feel it old too, it was totally black from oxydation.

    Great piece! I only have Hougart‘s so can’t add a thing and would guess 70s…just a guess.

    Masterful piece Kyra !!! I love the armored cowl on the tiny dragon's skull-perhaps fossils & fangs next.The rope-like coils on the chain somehow echo the reptilian medieval creature.This evolution is quite intriguing,it speaks to me.Where the hell do you sell your work ?
    PS-You could start w/ a manhole cover and it'd look good.
    PSS-You need a Publicist.
