<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 7190541, member: 37"]My sister picked up this delicate bouquet pin from the thrift store. It looked like it maybe has been dipped and was a dull mess. She has polished it a bit but it is still pretty dull. Back is still untouched other than a soap and water bath. Almost looks and feels like aluminum. Looks to be missing a pearl, stone, or something else at the center of the main flower. There is a small pin protruding there. The pin has a barrel hinge and a "C" clasp. No marks to be found (what looks like possible marks on the pin, are not). It is about 3" long. </p><p><br /></p><p>Age? Is this silver? If not, what might it be. Any way to shine it up better? What should be placed at the center of the flower? There is one leaf missing but she has it. Would this be worth it to pay to have it soldered back on?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]421891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]421894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]421895[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
