    Glad to see you @scoutshouse ! :)

    For auctions I use both brooch / pin. When I see broach it makes me think of roach!:vamp:

    Could this be the discussion you were remembering? From 2019. https://www.antiquers.com/threads/information-on-pin-brooch.35388/

    @i need help mentioned there had been another discussion around then related to "pin" and "brooch" differences. That one didn't come up in my search.

    I use both. I use pin for lapel type pins and straight pins. I’ve never had anyone in my life confused, but they know I’m a “word economist” so I use less “big” words rather than waste a whole bunch of time on lots of little words. But I digress, I think Brooch, Pin, and Broach (used in the same way as KSW, tho obviously not a Brit) all have their places.
