ParksRogers Cufflinks
This pair of cuffilinks was sold in ebay. Seems to
be a antique gold cufflinks. The workmanship
seems to be exceptioanally good. Wonder if
anyone actuallu have a pair similar.
Background Re-cap
Parks Bros. & Rogers was founder in Providence, Rhode Island in 1892. The company made an immediate jump into men's jewelry with the purchase from Howard & Sons of its electroplated goods unit which included lever cuff and collar buttons.
Early on, this company was know for its pastoral scenes, http://pages.captainhucksbooty.com/3559/PictPage/903293.html. By the time of the depression (when they went out of business), they were primarily producing gold, gold-fronted and gold filled cuff links under their "Parkroger" trademark. I find most of these later pieces to be very basic without any touch of uniqueness.
Indeed simple in their looks. However, I discover the cufflinks actually have a unique fastener. Unlike conventional swivel. Anyone have a pair of Parks Bros. & Rogers Cufflinks?
