[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 304801, member: 106"]Sorry, not an antique ... but the members of this group know sooooo much about items that aren't yet antique ... I hope you will forgive me for posting this here. Watching this for a month ... waiting for it to go ½ off - wasn't pricey at all to begin with, but I didn't dig how a sliver of the catch is visible from the front ... so I let fate decide - and now ... it's my own personal non-traditional Christmas pin :D ... until I tire of it and decide to sell it, that is ;) No markings, other than a small raised "T32" on the back, I'm guessing silverplated ... but not sure. The pin parts look to be added on, so I really don't know if it was intended to be a brooch originally or not. The white bumpy enamel looks to be on top of a smoother olive green enamel. I must not be using the correct combination of words to search for info on this, as I can find nothing similar. It looks mid-20th century design to me, but who knows? Any help towards figuring this out would be much appreciated. :) [ATTACH=full]99916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99920[/ATTACH] showing how it is slightly 'domed' ... both top to bottom and side to side ... [ATTACH=full]99921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99922[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking and for any clues to who? when? where?[/QUOTE]
