Hi All,

I just picked this up on ebay. Dan and I were discussing it's age and origin. Probably a cuff link, but from when? 1890-1910?

I'm pretty solid in my thinking that this is late 1890s.

It might be a cufflink or it might have been used to fill a button hole on the front of a shirt. I would say definitely 1890's-1910's. If the face is celluloid it can't be earlier than 1896. Scranton has a long Baseball history, my father grew up there and is from a prominent Scranton family. I used to visit often.
