<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4555179, member: 36"]Looking at it, I wonder if the whole thing wasn't converted at some point in the 30s. The earrings were probably pierced originally, but in the 30s-60s most ladies didn't have holes. A later jeweler added those screwbacks. The pin may have been changed around too; maybe something broke on both and they were changed to suit then-current tastes. Since I have no holes either, long story omitted, I'd cheerfully wear them as they sit![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
