  Very nice and with clear engravings and deep patina. The bracelet looks very artistic with light weight and smaller bolts.  Certainly a beautiful piece.. Congratulations Lynn.

  Thank you Ait and Mustafa.  Ait, do you know why these bracelets have such large interior dimensions?  Both of mine will go up my arm to just below the elbow.  I have looked at photos of the women and they seem to be petite!

  yes you are right about the dancers look petites, dont forget that the fotographers always choose best models and the postcards were a publicity to get the westerns as tourists,soldiers and colons.

  the dancers were very young but there is always a protector lady initiating ,taking  care ,arranging what they need and getting them out of bad situations ( drunk, agressif men ) mostly the ladies are older and stronger. they need bigger bracelets

  in  case of your bracelet, i will add it to the double bracelets. if you check some fotos , there is girls who have two in one arm,the second one has to be larger

  Thank you Ait, that explanation makes a lot of sense.  In your first photo, you can even see that the first lady's second bracelet is larger.  Beautiful photos!
