<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 433992, member: 649&quot;]This little pin was purchased by my grandmother in England in a charity shop during the 1970s. There are no markings but I assume that it is some form of gold. I read the inscription as:</p><p>Mary Chapman</p><p>Ob,,16,May,1819</p><p>Olb,,47</p><p><br /></p><p>My assumption is that Mary died on 16 May 1819 at age 47 but I don’t understand the Ob and Olb. Does anyone recognize these abbreviations? </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it looks like the glass window is surrounded by a snake?? I have not opened the pin, do you think I should? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152158[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
