The Queen Bess pattern is from 1946 and is one of the most popular household patterns. I was told by the owner of the local antique store that Betty Crocker had a box top redemption for the silverware sets. This pendant is 1.40 inches long .40 inches thick and .75 inches wide
The finding for the bail is wrapped around itself inside and outside the bell with sterling silver wire so that it's super sturdy. The clapper for the bell is the end of a fork tine suspended from chain. I have smooth finished the edges at the bottom of the bell with a very tiny grinding wheel to insure that there are no sharp edges and that this piece is a good representation of quality workmanship.
