 A vintage sterling silver and enamel charm for the Mission Dolores in San Fransisco.

It is stamped STERLING and with the Elco Gladiator trademark.

Established in 1776 by the Franciscan order, the mission is the oldest 
surviving building in San Francisco. Formally named Mission San Francisco 
de Asís, after Saint Francis of Assisi, the mission was nicknamed 
Mission Dolores after the nearby creek, Arroyo de Nuestra Señora de los 
Dolores. The current mission building survived the Mexican War of 
Independence, the California Gold Rush, and several earthquakes, 
most notably the earthquake of 1906 that destroyed a nearby brick church.

Contrary to popular belief, U.S. law does not require precious metal jewelry to be 
stamped with its precious metal content. UK law requires sterling silver items over 
7.78 grams be hallmarked unless the mark would spoil the appearance of the item.
