    Hello! My 10 yr old and I found this on a treasure hunt at the Goodwill. We tested several places on the frame and it tests between 10 and 14 karat (pretty neat experiment for a 10 year old). I am guessing the 12 marking indicates the karat, but I am at a loss as to the meaning of the other markings.

    I would love any help on identifying the age and markings on this piece so I can share it with my son. ????
