    Description

    This is a Victorian, Wightman & Hough, gold color, double photo locket.  One side is initialed ADF and the opposite side has raised, leaf-like designs on one half.  Inside are two picture sections which are held with removable gold circles. Hallmark on inner back is W&H CO inside a heart.  No markings to indicate metal composition.  No hallmarks or metal composition whatsoever on the chain either. Locket has some minor dents and scratching consistent with age. This necklace was a gift from my great-grandfather to my great-grandmother and has engraving around one inside edge: "To Anna from Elmer 1912". It has an indented notch to open the locket and needs only a fingernail edge to snap open.  Locket measures 1 1/4 inch chain measures 30 inches.
    ***For additional information I've included a photo of an ad for Wightman & Hough lockets and provided (see below) some
    information
    about them.
    Wightman & Hough Co. (W & H CO.) was established in 1856. Operating in Providence, Rhode Island, they manufactured a variety of gold-filled, rolled gold, and sterling silver jewelry. Each piece was hallmarked with their signature stamp: a heart containing the initials "W&H CO" inside. They were especially known for their lockets, medallions, and seals, and continued production up through the early Art Deco era.
    A fabulous piece of history!
