[QUOTE="Paul Noonan, post: 218354, member: 4159"][SIZE=4]Hello everybody, I am stumped what this could be. What I do know: It is a brooch. :) I have had it tested positive silver. I did not get a %. I did not test gold inlay on face. The design is a maltese cross. On the back there is a piece of glass (very slightly loose) over what looks like a stained and repaired piece of cloth that is inside the brooch. There is an unusual hallmark on the back edge. Stamped on a diamond or rhombus as follows.. [SIZE=4] I 17 partial O R with smudged lines after I Clasp is an open C clasp with a round pin. [/SIZE] Diameter is 1 3/16" 1 1/4 with studs. A very little over 3/16" thick. [SIZE=4] This was definitely made to hold something. It looks and feels sealed and is hollow. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if photos are fuzzy. If you need any more just ask. Thank you, Paul[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]64548[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]64549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]64550[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]64551[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]64552[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]64553[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]64554[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]64555[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]64555[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]64556[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]64557[/ATTACH] [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
