<p>[QUOTE="Karen S., post: 4046120, member: 7533"]Good afternoon everyone. I was out garage hopping and came across this lovely brooch for $3. It measures 3 inches by 2 inches and has the "C" hook with a long pin. I tried to do some research on-line and the stone does scratch glass and tile. I'm wondering if this is a 19th century to early 20th century brooch and if the stone is a real amethyst. Also there appears to be a hallmark on the back which I can't read. Is the metal silver or silver plated? Anything you can tell me about this brooch , would be gratefully appreciated. Is there any value to it? Thank you so much ahead of your answers for your time and interest.</p><p>Karen S[ATTACH=full]327788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327796[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327797[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
