Hi! I just found this locket was wondering if anyone has seen one like it. Stamped sterling inside a triangle with a diamond with nh(?) in it, dying to know more!
I love old lockets! Lovely piece! I like the design, although I can't remember what the dangle pieces are called. My mom had those on curtains we had when I was a wee lad in the 1970s. I love the chain, too!
Hallmark is Nussbaum & Hunold, Providence, RI. The book I have is from 1922 and by that time it states they were already out of business.
My pleasure. I'm far from an expert, but I'm glad I can share some of the knowledge and resources I have. 
The more I look at that locket, I'm wondering if the theme to it would be theater related. As I previously said, it looks like curtain "dangles" and it now reminds me of a curtain being pulled down over the frame of a theater stage. I'm not for sure, but that's my take on it, especially since it dates prior to circa 1922, when theater and movies were super popular.
I would call that a reticulated fringe. I think it would often have been used on a piano shawl or just a regular shawl, and would certainly have been a feature of many drapes, as well as the bottoms of purses/reticules. But I don't associate it much with theatre curtains, which overall tended to be solid right to the bottom.
