Pity the unfortunate Captain Wormsley Artemesia whose ill-fated decision to join the Secret Society of the Golden Claw would render his life thereafter intolerable. This locket, then, shows the hapless gentleman at about the time he sealed his own fate with the mark of his own hand. The Golden Claw partially obscures the visage of a fellow initiate, but we can be sure he fared no better. Let us draw the curtain here, dear reader, as no gain can possibly come from further delving into this sad tale of untrammeled vice!
This steampunk locket is large, measuring 2 1/2" tall by 2" wide in the closed position. The interior features 2 authentic tintypes from the late nineteenth century with a brass claw stamping. It hangs from a clear-coated distressed brass chain that is 30" long and has a vintage bayonet safety clasp although this item will easily slip over the head. If this chain is longer than you wish, it can be shortened at no cost by simply contacting me prior to shipment. Locket opens and closes with ease and has had its patina protected by a museum-quality wax. One of a kind! SOLD
