[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9612765, member: 15376"][CENTER]Hi all, back again! I'm looking at this brooch, it's so interesting. However it's in the middle of a small lot of broken bits and things that'll just take up room, so I thought I'd get this to you guys and see what the consensus is. I messaged the seller for the back, and it's got a T hinge but on those kind that you glue/stick on. Can you judge the quality based on this? I need to learn more about those types of backs cause I see them a lot. I've just noticed they've screwed in this one. Also what's the material and date? Looks like plastic, but that other brooch I have that looks like this is possibly tortoiseshell (haven't tested it yet). With the design I was hoping late 19th, although that's an old Chinese design? Is this then early 20th? [ATTACH=full]468601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468600[/ATTACH] Thanks all![/CENTER][/QUOTE]
