[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 22386, member: 181"]These two pins/brooches were sold as "costume jewelry". The top piece was $3 and the bottom $5. :D The first is 18KT gold with pearls, probably dating to the late-19th or early-20th C. No maker's mark. The second is platinum, 14KT gold, sapphires and pearls, made by: [I]Bippart, Griscom & Osborn [/I]of Newark, NJ. Probably dating to the same as above. The maker's mark (flaming torch) on clasp was pretty easy to ID with a quick search. Not sure what the gold weight is as of yet. I most likely will not scrap these. [ATTACH=full]5491[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
