Wow! Well done John!

1917, that's so cool! Love seeing all the old stuff, (not junk) people can find.
To think someone made that so long ago, someone sold it, someone lost it and now you found it

If only it could talk

Jeweller has given a retail estimate of $1500 to $2000, unfortunately it fits the wife perfectly so it has found a new home.

Told her its now her responsibility to report it to cops to get legal ownership.

Lots more rockpools on the central coast...
