[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 611091, member: 85"][USER=10171]@Dawnno[/USER] That was hilarious. Your posts about materials and what causes tarnish were interesting. Just hope I will remember some of it. Thanks. [USER=4864]@Barn Owl[/USER] This piece although there is a chance it is 9K, is most likely Rolled Gold. Rolled Gold is basically a type of plating, thicker than today's plating. The plating done today is a different process. If the piece was worn a lot, near the edges you may see some wear showing a brass base. This pin is from about 1860 plus or minus a few years. [ATTACH=full]179653[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
