Birmingham Year Date for .375 Gold Cuff lLinks by: Yvonne
Maharba,
Thanks for reaching out James So glad you found us!
Comparing the font style of the letter W inside the punched out shield shape around the letter W, in this set of UK British hallmarks, with the Birmingham Assay Office Guide, which is a visual reference guide, the year date your cuff links were assayed at the Birmingham Assay Office is probably 1946.
Cufflinks were largely replaced by shirts with built-in buttons and buttonholes during the 1970s. As fashion moved toward mass-produced shirts, the double-cuff (French cuff) style requiring cufflinks fell out of favour.
