    The brooch beads look like they have little rims on the back which makes me think this is a molded piece.

    After bringing up and cropping, I agree.

    The colour of the beads looks very uniform so that would concern me.
    Most of the paler beads I own have slightly different shades in places but I don’t have many in my possession so no way an expert.

    I see some cute bits, but the lot is already over what I'd pay for it. The Old Sturbridge Village pocket watch is cute, but not worth much. The cricket pin is straight out of my childhood too; we had passes to OSV for a while. Agree with the others that the coral-colored bow is plastic.
