    Bought it at a thrift store and thought the gold plating was so good thought it could be real gold, except for the way the rhinestone were set in it. It looks like real gold though, so I think quality. It is a bobble head pin. I am attaching 3 photos of mark because it is set back in the pin and slightly so was hard to get good photo. Looks like a mark horseshoe shape with both ends turn up, to me. Do you recognize the mark? Thank you,.

    Pls tell us all the size of the pin.The mark could be a stylized 'Omega' symbol,as in the Alpha & Omega.

    So sorry and thank you. 1 3/4" tall by 1 5/8" wide. Sorry my photos are the best I could do. I do not believe it is the Omega mark because on the right side the end of the rope goes inside, not outside like the left side.

    I see that now-i agree,without camera effects it's tough to get a clear pic,maybe a drawing of it would be clearer ?

    It's the St. John logo (stylized SJ). I have a few pieces of their jewelry--the plating is high quality.

    Yes it does look like the St. John logo. I am surprised St. John made bobble head pins. I was looking for some bobble head or the cat pin and have not found either. Maybe St. John doesn't make as many pieces. Thank you.
