A long number and two names are engraved on front of this bracelet. The back says Love Viola. Any idea what the long number is all about? This person must have loved to play the viola as they mention it. :grin: (sorry)

I think it's one full name on the front, unless there is something I can't see in the pic. The number might be a service member's number. Could have been a gift to a deploying soldier / sailor.

That's it Jason, thanks! I saw some very similar. |:confused:) :clapping:
Edit- the number was issued to a US serviceman in 1940. Which makes sense as the house was built in 1934. I'll check the 1940 census when it becomes public in April.

:grin: No Idea what the number could mean. Maybe you should play it in the lottery, who knows it may come up. Nice find .
