Featured Ebay "Art Deco" costume lot arrived! Can you help with age?

Hi all! Got a little lot that I won on Ebay today that was sold as "Art Deco". I'd love you to take a look and let me know which are actually Art Deco. Some look a little later than that to me but I think some are around that time period. Any other info you have about any of them also appreciated! I haven't cleaned them up yet. They are pretty, regardless

1. Colorful butterfly brooch, no markings.
2. Rhinestone bar brooch, no markings.
3. Belt buckle
4. Belt buckle
5. Flower brooch, no markings
6. Not sure what this one is, something broken off the top perhaps?
7. Brooch marked 'Made in Germany'
8. Screw back faux pearl earrings
9. Bracelet and earrings- these look new to me (obviously earring hooks are new but possibly replaced), would you say these are even vintage?

 

Ahh! I had no idea. Thanks!

 

Looks like it is half a buckle, with the part (loop?) where it can be attached to a belt broken off. This half would have hooked into a loop on the other half.

 

#7 looks like a prospectors brooch.https://gem.app/product/vintage-prospectors-pin-brooch-pick-axe-and

 

Ah ok, that makes sense! Thanks

 

Ooh interesting! Thanks for the link.

 

I agree, an Alpine hiking pin, with that edelweiss and gentians, the floral symbols of the Alps. People who go walking in the Alps often use walking sticks with a pick axe top.

 

I thought because it has Eidleweiss flowers and blue Gentians it was more likely to be Swiss/German mountain climbers rather than prospector, plus it’s made in Germany.

 

Sniped!

 

There are always those nasty people who get in here first, but what can you do?

 

those are pick axes....I'm with Holly on this....

an ice axe looks very different...



( will wonders never cease...)

but, it still has all the marks of a mountain climbing brooch...




so, I'm conflicted.....

 

I feel for you.

 

Aside from the slightly controversial German pin/brooch any feedback on age of any of the other items?

 

Buckles are early 20th. 1 and 2 and 5 are 40s into 50s. 8 maybe 30s, 9 has had new wires.

 

Costume isn't my area, so others will be able to be more accurate, my thoughts are:

#1 50's/60's
#2 30's/40's
#3 Late 19thC
#5 60's/70's
#6 1900-1910

 

Yes, both bracelet and earrings!

 

Thanks everyone! I am learning a lot

 

I clean #3 up a bit and found "Made in Czechoslovakia" on the closure pin, love finding hidden writing under the grime
