A Gentleman's Brass Cuff Links
These understated cuff links were found at a thrift store a few years ago by yours truly.
I don't know much about them.
Obviously the original owner kept matching sets, possibly in case he lost one, that way he would always have matching spares.
It makes me think of dapper gentleman that open doors for ladies. Maybe they were part of his uniform.
They have the little swively post thingos that hold them securely in your cuff.
The flat triangular head is attached at a precise angle, for best effect when worn I suppose.
I wonder what he did for a living, perhaps he was a driver or a pilot, a soldier or a doorman?
What do you think the gentleman might have done to earn his bread?
Hmm..maybe he worked as a house staff, such as a valet, who usually receives the past used items of the gentleman of the house that he serves. Although in that case, they will have seen two owners. :) P.S. Thank you for visiting my blog. :)
