SIGNED LARTER & SONS, NEW YORK USA,
10K GOLD WITH MOTHER OF PEARL SHELL,
SPRING BACK, MEN'S FORMAL SHIRT BUTTON STUDS
NO MONOGRAMS OR ENGRAVINGS,
EACH MEASURE 1" LONG WITH 1/4" DIAMETER TOP BUTTONS,
TOTAL WEIGHT OF 2.3 GRAMS
Shows light wear from use and storage, including minor marks, scratches, and they retain a light patina over the gold surface due to aging.  They shine nice as they are, are straight, not bent, spring backs are tight and not loose, with no major issues at all.
They are hallmarked on the back 10, along with the shape of a shirt button stud, the pictomark for listed USA jewelry firm, Larter & Sons, New York (circa 1860s - 1920s era), who patented a spring back shirt stud in 1890.  We did perform a stone and acid test, and it confirms 10K gold.
HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE:
The last photo shown is taken from a 1922 jewelers directory, which confirms this exact hallmark and maker.  Not only is the hallmark in the shape of shirt stud, but these are in the same shape, as well.
A beautiful set of studs!  Would be a wonderful addition to anyone's collection of fine men's or Victorian era jewelry, especially if you have an interest in this maker or from the Northeastern region!  A fully documented set!  Wear them for formal events like weddings and dinner parties!
DON'T MISS OUT!
Would make a great gift idea for that special someone you know, too!
