<p>[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 4560954, member: 2027"]I have several pieces that were included in an auction lot that I would like to confirm the ages, if possible and would welcome the opinions of the experts here. I will post two threads on them. First up, I have a brass enameled piece that was labeled "Victorian Buckle Brooch" but obviously it is not a buckle. It is 2 3/4" wide, 1 3/4" tall and has a C-Clasp. Is it a sash brooch perhaps? Is it really Victorian? </p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is 3 3/4" wide, 2 1/2" tall, has a roll over clasp, with an embossed design and either cut steel accents or marcasites (I think cut steel) and the brown seems to be enamel. 1930's? I don't think sash pins were a thing by then, so just a big brooch?</p><p><br /></p><p>The third one, I don't have a clue. It's made of pressed lightweight metal with blue glass, a riveted back with a roll over clasp and is 2 1/2" in diameter. Any idea on its age?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking and for your opinions, as always.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404731[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404732[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]404734[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404733[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404735[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404736[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
