Hey all! I hope everyone is doing well... As a second full time gig I buy and sell cufflinks and tie clips. But this time, I have came across a marking that I am not familiar with. I am hoping that you of you may be able to help. This set is made by Swank in the mid 60s, I know this by the makers mark and toggle, but, I am unsure of the insert...
Could you tell me the maker? and what to call the horns on the front? I know that beginning in the 60s they outsourced from different areas to create unique and different cufflinks...
Thanks!

The Horns are early Hunting Horns circa 1940,s see link

I,m sure these cufflinks have a porcelain insert.. the cufflinks are signed on the back of the porcelain, "Denmark" and with wavy blue lines, which is the mark of Royal Copenhagen and on the back of the metal there should be an "S" in a pentagon, which is the mark of Swank...value wise from $75 then upwards....

Nice one bigwull you nailed it!!! Will share my 2 boxes of ripe Mangoes with you ;)

Awesome bigwull. Thanks. Yeah I was positive of the Swank, but had no idea about the insert. The exact information I was looking for.

The 3 wave lines are the Royal Copenhagen mark...which can be dated,depending on whats above....looking at these cufflinks with the Denmark above...makes believe there may be a crown thats hidden by the bar in the middle....however.. .if there is no crown..then the date comes in at late 19century..for the insert...
