    I’ve been sorting out my hoard to sell some bits as I have way too much. Please can anyone help with key words and any detail I can tell buyers about these as I'm a bit clueless.
    All for repair- I think the oval brooch is Ruskin but what of the others? Do they all go well together as a lot, any date ideas?
    Really appreciate any advice.
    Thankyou :)

    They're all late 19th. The oval one is Ruskin, ought to sell on its own. Square one has art glass made to look like turquoise.

    Brilliant OBB, Thankyou. Are there good key words to use for the others?.

    Late 19thC Arts and Crafts brooch collection needing varying amounts of LTC to bring them back to their original splendor...Ruskin among others.

    :hilarious: I just realized I wrote LTC instead of TLC. Long Term Care is what I deal with on a weekly basis...health care on the brain, obviously! But, you all got my drift.

    LTC is probably what these brooches need too :hilarious:

    Make sure you say signed Ruskin. I'd still list that one separately.

    Some of the ones I've looked at on eBay actually have Ruskin stamped on them but this doesn't. Am I still ok to say it's Ruskin then?:confused:

    Just an update @Ownedbybear @Any Jewelry @flipper , the loose cab on no 1 had glue on the back. I idly started very carefully picking it off and revealed the word Astra. Google tells me it's Minton Astraware so that's another one ID'd. 1910-1920.

    At first glance I thought that was a globe, the part showing Africa.
    Don't mind me, carry on...

    I'd list that one on its own as well, in that case.
