    BUT it needs a pin on the back....one of you that fixes these things...if you could just enlighten me as to what kind of ....glue/solder/whatever to add the pin.....I THINK I may be able to find a pin for it at MICHAEL'S or JoAnn's FABRICS/crafts, but could use some direction from there......once it's fixed, it, among others is probably just going up on the Give Away page anyway, I think! But I want to fix first!!! Thank you! @kyratango and any others I'm not thinking of????

    Looks like it's all there. I'm not sure these modern pot-metal-ish pieces can be repaired. If it were mine I'd probably break both ends of the back off and use it in one of my wall decorations.

    @evelyb30, I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear....it's another similar brooch/pin that needs the back pin.....I posted THIS one to show what I NEED to get and somehow attach!!! Guess I was in too much of a hurry to get the images up & posted! I have about six more of the costume brooch/pins, but only ONE needs the actual back pin.....I think I'm clear now!!!:rolleyes::smuggrin:....hopefully!!! (And they're all a bit different....Mom had gotten them all to go on a Christmas or New Year's hat.....and then forgot about them!)

    It all depends on what needs doing, what's been broken etc.

    The one that DOESN'T have a pin on the back....apparently NEVER HAD A PIN..... nothing broken off at all.....maybe this image with the back 'pin' open shows what I mean better...

    If nothing's missing then maybe it was originally something else.

    EDIT....UPDATE!! OK, my back pins came in....the one that needs fixing is a music 'note', and one of the 'jewels' I see needs a 'pin drop' of glue now! SO, maybe directed at @kyratango, or whoever else puts inexpensive "stuff" back together??? I need to know what glue will stick with the pin to the white metal???? PUHLEEZE????? AND, as always, Thank You!!!
    Is it as simple as "Super Glue"????:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    E6000 glue is advised by costume repairers forum.
