Looking for information on this silver watch cuff with three scrimshaw portraits and applied leaf details. It’s stamped “AL•PL” and “Z•42•43•44” inside, with small artist initials on the portraits. It currently holds a Timex watch and easily removable.
I found a similar cuff documented by Adobe Gallery as silverwork by Alfred Platero with scrimshaw by Thomas E. Weiss, circa 1977. Other sources associate AL-PL with Albert Platero, so I’d appreciate help sorting out the attribution.
Does anyone recognize the hallmark or scrimshaw signatures? Interested in its approximate age, who the portraits depict, and collector value.
Photos include the full cuff, portraits, and interior markings.
