Unusual Bracelet For Ball Games From The Late 19th Century

This bracelet, which is of an unusual size, falls between the “small” bracelet used in Piedmont and the “large” one used in Central Italy. In terms of construction, the model is similar to the Piedmontese one, but it is larger (and wider as well).
The game of “pallone col bracciale” was the most popular sport in Italy until 1930, when soccer became popular. There was a significant amount of betting surrounding these matches, which featured two teams of three players each. The name of the artisan who crafted it is engraved on the top.
Small imperfections and period restorations are visible.
