There are a huge number and variety of these that have turned up in various 18th century sites throughout colonial America. This particular type generally has a lamp worked glass "jewel", copper alloy (brass) or pewter body and bezel, with a oval wire or figural link connecting the pair. Based on other known examples, I'd place it in the third quarter of the 18th century.ATED (Ward Oles)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13217416966627397814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206982072987423771.post-83360381909465333512013-02-23T16:56:12.077-05:002013-02-23T16:56:12.077-05:00In the 1950 census it was just

I also have a very large cameo of him that has engraving about him on the back - Once someone contacts me I will be glad to come and show you the silhouette, letter and cameo. I was told that he owned Rose Hill, so it is interesting to find out about Chimney House. I have a dining table that reportedly belonged to him as well.
