This Antique Sterling Silver BPOE Elks Lodge Money Card Holder Locket Pendant with the 10K Gold Elks Head has no makers marks but is marked Sterling Patented on the inside rim.
It is 2” long not including the pinch clasp or the loop ring at the other end, by 7/8” wide by 1/8” deep when closed, and it weighs approximately 15.3 grams by my scale.
When opened the HELLO and the BILL do not lift up but there is space for a folded bill or note could slide underneath, and in the center edge near the hinge on each side is the number 65 is stamped.
The story goes this HELLO BILL became a common greeting at the Elks gatherings around the late 1800’s after William Goddard of Minneapolis Lodge No. 44.
Your payment is due within 7 days unless previous arrangements have been made - I send an email invoice separate from what ebay sends you, shortly after your purchase is made that includes your total due and with my shipping schedule for the week. I would greatly appreciate getting a response from you within 24 hours of the sale that you have received my invoices and payment has either been made or is scheduled.
Your item will be mailed to you through USPS usually within 3-5 business days once your cleared payment has been received, sometimes sooner depending on my schedule that week. I charge a minimum handling fee on all my items and I add the cost of insurance in my handling fee for any item selling for more than $30.00 or that is considered Fragile. Once I have shipped your item off I will notify you with an email after I get back from town that your item is on its way and provide you with the tracking #, and I will leave feedback for you at this time. Once you have received your item safely I would greatly appreciate hearing from you that all is well - if you have any problems or issues at all, please contact me directly so that I can find a resolution for you.
