Maybe a forerunner of today's ubiquitous US flag lapel pin?
I have many times thought the Donna Reed Show, Ozzie & Harriet, Father Knows Best, etc., are to blame for the Baby Boom generation's unrealistic...
What she said. :)
The crafts show scene in New York City was already much in decline when CoViD hit us, now pretty well gone, but there used to be many shows each...
The clasp was invented by this jeweller: https://hformanbarrett.com/HFBJewelry.php Her work was the beginning of my seeing cameos as not just...
That gives me enough of an idea to satisfy my curiosity. Interesting piece.
Why does the card your avatar guy is holding up have 'you' on it twice? (OK, I know, but I saw it right off.)
Guessing Bavarian, a broad term, probably of minimal help. I would put it a bit earlier than bluumz's estimate, pre-WWII, but I'm definitely no...

She could come live with me any time. The clasp has been replaced. Original was probably just a C-clasp, albeit, judging from the rest of the...

@ParisLS If you can find them again, could you please give me links for sites where you found photos illustrating the shape I am interested in?...
OK, I could buy that. But wonder what it really meant in its time. Does not accord well with our idea of a proud, regal bird. I could invent...
I meant the second one, but it didn't answer my question because they didn't show the gem from any other angle. Trying to establish whether Roman...
Separate names with a comma.
