<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 375727, member: 5213"]Bought this set for $45. I couldn't pass it up when it was presented like this especially at a pawn shop of all places. The box could be original due to how well the brooch fits in the box, it closes perfectly without smashing the brooch as well. The two little earrings look as if they were just thrown in as I don't think they go with the brooch, regardless I think they could be gold of some sort. The brooch is silver and unmarked. To me the brooch looks very old as does the box. I do think the pin as been replaced at some point... The cameo looks to be in good condition with no visible chips. Can anyone say how old this might be?? I was hesitant to buy it since I barely know anything about cameo brooches.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]129456[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129457[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129460[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129461[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
