<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 280728, member: 36"]Since no one's mentioned it, the first one is Victorian, I'm guessing circa 1870. It looks like the pin stem has been off and replaced at least once, if not properly. I'd take a loupe to that carefully to make sure it's not gold. It's probably gold-filled, but given the wacky things Victorian jewelers were known to do it might be the real deal. American jewelers often didn't mark anything. As for the second pin, a good shot of the back might tell us what it is and where it came from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
