[QUOTE="Snipsa, post: 66768, member: 350"]So, I cleaned the jewelry and it revealed a couple of things, but nothing I can decipher as yet. The brooch/badge with safety pin has two very very small (can't decipher even when looking through loupe) numbers or letters on the rim of the brooch. It also has a small golden "blotch" close to the clasp, but that could be the glue that was used to fix the clasp to the brooch. Ps. It is a c-clasp, as is the clasp on the tennis racquet and also on the flower (gold-tone). The flower brooch appears to be tin. And the flower can rotate (like a windmill) on the clasp. Which is pretty neat. With the tennis brooch, the "textured handle" part is actually a piece of carton/paper wrapped around the handle. I could take that off, but still no marks that are visible. The only thing I did notice after I cleaned is, was two raised (small but visible) dots, where the handle and the net meets. Will post photos of the cleaner items in the morning (light too weak right now).[/QUOTE]
