Cufflinks
1900? Cufflinks of a tortoise whose shell opens to reveal a hare. Made in England? Hallmarket Silver? Source unknown.
This is some of the most delicate small work in the collection! Each cufflink has a hinged tortoise back. Opening it with clumsy fingers is not easy! Does the Hallmarket Silver box belong to this exquisite pair? And what brings a person to wear openable tortoise-and-hare cufflinks? Matched tortoise cuffliniks seem common enough on the web. I have not yet found TH cufflinks.
