[QUOTE="Bobby S, post: 3027625, member: 15452"]Hello to all, I found this interesting brooch in my travels today and had a few questions about it. It seems to be some type of brass Irish brooch. It has the word o'coileain at the top, which is an irish name, or surname. It is very large, it measures 5 inches wide by 3 and 3/4 inches tall. I seen some similar online but none were flat like this one. The clasp on the back seems to look older, so my questions would be: Can anyone put an approximate age on it? Should i clean it with brass cleaner? Is it just a modern reproduction? I would like to thank everyone for the help in advance, as always keplnul the great work![ATTACH=full]290076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
