A detailed look at an early Yankee No. 2H “Handyman” ratchet screwdriver—its history, wear, missing parts, and the craftsmanship that helped it survive nearly a century of work.
This antique sterling silver and 9ct gold fob, hallmarked in Birmingham in 1911, showcases the refined craftsmanship of the Edwardian period. With its hand-engraved gold shield, ornate silver frame, and a full set of clear hallmarks, it reflects the personal style, pride, and meticulous metalwork of early 20th-century jewellery. A small yet significant piece of social history that has survived more than a century.
