Title: Raffles hotel singapore item.
Post by: jordo on May 18, 2010, 03:58:33 AM

Hi
Just wondering if anyone knew the date this raffles hotel Singapore item was made? (no date on it).
I'm thinking it was used for keys.

That is a neat piece.  I think it is for keys also.  Raffles started in 1887 and if you go to this site http://www.raffles.com/EN_RA/Property/RHS/History/  you can read the history that plays along a timeline.  Just looking at the style, I would think it may date from its' beginning to the 1920s.  I would contact the hotel, send them a pic, and see if they would reply with a specific date.
