Description: UNGER BROS VICTORIAN STERLING SILVER BABY CHILD FRENCH BEBE ANTIQUE DOLL BANGLE I.D. BRACELET 1890’s RARE! THE BEST BABY GIFT EVER! Ultra rare Unger Bros. Victorian-era circa 1890’s sterling silver bangle bracelet for a baby, infant or small child, and would make an amazing accessory for your favorite French Bebe or other antique doll. It is really small but a petite child must have worn it because her address is inscribed inside to identify her in case she somehow got lost. Victorian babies wore silver bracelets for their healing powers, a fact borne out by modern-day science. Silver ions are in fact anti-microbial. Of course only the very wealthy could afford Unger Bros., who were pricey even in their own time. A baby bracelet from Unger Bros. was a very desired and much appreciated baby/baptismal gift. Regarding size, I’m estimating it to be approximately a size 4-4.5. When placed on a ring mandrel it sits above size 5. Inside circumference is 4 3/8.” The front cartouche bears a fancy script monogram which could be almost anything. What’s particularly interesting is that, as mentioned, the child’s address is engraved inside: “1804 So. 18th St.” This address is probably in Philadelphia. The bracelet is not sealed closed, meaning the edges can be spread open slightly to enlarge it as the baby grows. When the child completely outgrows it, the bracelet becomes a treasured heirloom.HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING
