<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coranmbeck73, post: 11448606, member: 97093&quot;]Sigh. Hello Martin, unfortunately I randomly and mistakenly (I&#039;m looking at you, Google lens)&nbsp; happened upon your post yesterday evening. With great reluctance and against my better judgement, I must inform you that the information you have received thus far is frankly incorrect and inaccurate. Your bracelet was indeed produced by Whiting and Davis, and it dates to the mid 1960s-70s. I chose to tell you this for two reasons: firstly, I am quite certain it was only with the best intentions people provided their &quot;expertise.&quot; Even so, I was surprised and taken aback to discover how many individuals have spoken with misplaced authority on the subject of Whiting and Davis snake jewelry, when it is readily apparent (and may be easily proven) they are, quite simply, wrong, and there is no reason I should withhold the truth from you. Secondly, I was (justifiably) horrified to learn someone found it seemly to attempt to disparage my own knowledge and personal character in the comments. It is of little to no consequence to me should you choose to ignore this, and I am thoroughly disgusted with myself for bothering to waste my time &quot;defending&quot; myself when I am in no doubt it was done in a thoughtless fashion. And again, I wish to stress that undoubtedly people took the time to answer your query solely in an attempt to be helpful. However in future I recommend you look elsewhere should you require anything resembling professional information or authentication on a vintage or antique item. (I write this knowing full well it is entirely possible I will be the recipient of much ranting, raving, and foaming at the mouth, but I really and truly hope anyone wishing to reply to this message in the aforesaid manner at least attempt to refrain from doing so. Should said individuals be lacking in self-control and find this ask to be impossible, please know my glee in providing actual verifiable facts in response will be directly proportionate to any base or unwarranted insults to myself or my intelligence. I have no idea as to what you wish to do with your bracelet, but rest assured it is undoubtedly and indisputedly a Whiting and Davis piece. Best regards.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
