<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 4539178, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">Final post I promise! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">But these brooches have many questions to be answered and I want to share my pretties/make sure I&#039;m barking up the right tree.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This little hat pin. Very cute, but zero marks that I can see. When I looked this up I immediately came up with an identical piece marked &#039;BH&#039; on the end of the ribbon. Is this a knockoff or whats going on? Evelyb suggested its possible this is Mary Engelbreit?</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401696[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I wasn&#039;t going to post this, but it looks a little aged so anything I&#039;m missing before I move it on?</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401697[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This pin is confusing me. I see this sort of design on everything as well as brooches in my area of France, but any searches brings up Russian origins? Also, unsure if Br is anything interesting. Not my style so may move on as well but I was curious.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401698[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I was going to ask about the date of the clasp of this. Trombone was popular in the 40s but were used well after that so a tad stumped? Evely and AJ did provide some insight with the Toledo Damascene. Does the back seem a bit &#039;clean&#039; for something earlier than say 50/60s? Also, the rose almost looks stamped on top like its not original, and a quick search reveals no similar pins....?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401699[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This is the piece Evely suggested might be paste. It is stamped 900 silver but can anyone make out the mark? It just looks like two fingers to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401700[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Misc Bits</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Diamond Scarf Pin</p> <p style="text-align: center">No marks, no nothing. Diamonds do look a tad yellow though, dirty diamonds or old paste etc?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401702[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Close up of the glass necklace, Czech as per Evely? I didn&#039;t like it at first but its growing on me!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401701[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Airforce Cufflink/Button? Thats all I can get out of it, no idea if its even vintage lol. Also does the other thing belong to it? Same gold tone, but doesn&#039;t seem to connect.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]401703[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Phew! That&#039;s everything now <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Apologies for a bit of spam and rather long posts, its been ages since I&#039;ve had anything worthy of the forum! Theres a ton of other bits in the pile but as far as I can gather nothing better than pretty. I am mad about one necklace though, the front doesn&#039;t seem to match the back in terms of quality! Back is peeling everywhere <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Thank you all for humoring me!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
