Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure that's what it is, though. There is no way for it to account for the thread (that holds the button).

Here's a detail shot of vintage Belais white gold front cufflinks that likely date from the 1920s. I'm pretty sure they had never been worn when I got them. Double-sided, of course. Also posted in WAYW.

I noticed those on the other thread, Alan. VERY nice. Is that part in the center raised? Does it have a function (releasing the snap, for instance) or is just decorative?

Thanks! It is raised, but it's only decorative. One side of the cufflink is hinged so it will slide through the buttonhole. They're not snap links, but are on a curved post.
