Hi George and thank you!

I have or had other SB's before, but this piece is a keeper for sure!

I'm quite sure the inscriptions are period, but the clover(?)-linked silver chain, mounts and that gilt-metal ornament are just some thing I've never seen mounted and/or attached to a SB before.....nor can I find anything similar. The ornament looks VERY old and it's fitted into a custom silver garment hook.

These aren't the best images, but it's the best I can do for now. That inset within the stopper is pure gold.

Hopefully, you all can help?

Jo
