What is this chain design called?

This is vintage 1920's and probably steel. It is the neck chain for pince-nez eyeglasses, gold-filled, possibly earlier than the chain.   Chain is flat.  Does the design have a name? Thanks for any help.Flat chain does it have a design nameHow to describe this chain

Your welcome, it's an early chain link design and one of my favorites indeed. Funny, I price all the jewelry for our hometown thrift shop and just got done with a beautiful snail chain eye glass holder!

Have a good healthy Thanksgiving!

I was guessing that the chain was 1920's.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you for your help.

Many chains have several names and this one is known as a Snail Link or Scroll Link chain - either is correct.
