<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 185150, member: 36"]It's a really old repair. The first one is the oldest for sure, as everyone else already said. Those tube hinge thingies disappeared around 1900 for the most part, but hung on in India and for some traditional Scandinavian jewelry designs well into the 1950s. These are most likely Czech; Bohemian garnet jewelry is famous. That puts the pin back into the 19th century. The other two are considerably later; from the hardware I'd guess post-WWII, fifties maybe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
