    Trying to pin down a more precise date range for this money clip, marked simply "Silver Japan". Id like to be able to say more than early to mid 20th century. I suspect its a souvenir from the WW2 American occupation but really am not sure, I cant convince myself its not older and am getting tired of arguing with myself ;P
    Any help is appreciated!

      I have a very similar piece dated 1953. Wish I could attach a photo.
