The reverses bear full British hallmarks for 9-carat gold (.375): the maker's punch \"S\u0026amp;D\" for Steele \u0026amp; Dolphin, the \"375\" fineness mark, the anchor symbol of the Birmingham Assay Office, and the date letter \"K\" for 1984. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: each oval face measures 1.75 cm in length and 1.1 cm in width; total weight of the pair 3.77 g. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pair is presented in a fitted dark blue leatherette cufflink case with gilt scroll-tooled borders and a royal blue velvet interior, secured by a gilt-metal clasp. Condition is very good vintage, the gold retaining warm colour with light surface marks consistent with wear, the engine-turning crisp throughout and the chain links sound; the case shows minor age-wear to the exterior but is sturdy and presentable. A neat and traditional pair of British 9ct gold cufflinks of timeless design, well suited for daily wear or as a personalised gift once monogrammed. Please carefully regard all photos as they make an integral part of the listing, and reach out if there are any questions.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Gillers Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62884203659594,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5351\/6106\/files\/il_fullxfull.8030073705_1m38.jpg?v=1785912266","url":"https:\/\/gillersantiques.com\/products\/pair-of-9ct-gold-oval-chain-link-cufflinks-by-steele-dolphin-birmingham-1984-in-the-edwardian-taste-cased","provider":"Gillers Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
