THE SHANK IS A PLATED BRASS 4-WAY BOX SHANK THAT\'S EMBEDDED IN THE GLASS.

What is a CHARMSTRING?

A charm string or memory string was a 19th century pastime which consisted of collecting buttons & other small mementos & stringing them together.

Young women of the 1860s-1900s would have parties in which they would exchange buttons & stories associated with them, Rules dictated that buttons couldn\'t be purchased for the collection & had to be gifts from other collectors, suitors, friends or family. The gift of a button was considered lucky & the stringing of the buttons on a string enhanced good luck. Lore has it that girls who collected 999 buttons would meet her true love after adding the 1000th. Other stories claim the addition of the 1000th would doom the girl to spinsterhood.
