It's very difficult for me to understand the hallmark on this piece. Can anybody please tell me what the hallmark reads. I took the best pictures I can take it was difficult for me, hopefully it's clear enough for someone to recognize it.

    Try using a magnifying app on your phone. My favorite is Magnifying Glass. It's free. I bought the one with the light I think it is $1.99

    Google tells me that Angel View is a donation type charity thrift. Don't think there are any where I am.

    This one has a really nice clear looking diamond in the middle of the flower. Looks very beautiful. By the way at the bins you pay based on the weight of items you have found in them. So technically I bought this brooch for 25 cents

    Do you have a loupe? You can take a photo through a loupe.

    835 silver is usually German. Looks engine turned. I can’t make out the maker marks.

    T is a machine made precise pattern, originally used on watches.

    Maybe @Hollyblue can give a better explanation.

    Thank you so much. I guess my 25 cent investment might turn in to something gold. No pun intended.
