By the by, I have an Alfred Philippe rhinestone clipmate type brooch starting tonight; maybe the same person will snatch both up. :)
Thanks dragonflywink. :)
No teeth inside. I was just thinking today that they seem a little too slippery for dress clips since they have no real "grab" to them. So...
Maybe I'm assuming too much on the first set of pins. Since the one says "36 Berlin", I just assumed it had to do with the Olympics, but maybe I...
LOL, it works better than anything that I've found so far!
A crown is a good suggestion. :)
Thanks Davey. I'm pretty sure you're right about Schmidt being the maker, though I haven't been able to find other pins with that name. LOL, the...
Thanks so much terry! Makes total sense.
Last one. No marks on the back of this one. I see a crown at the top and a cross in the middle. Possibly the initials "E" and "H", but who...
The pin on the left, I'm assuming it has something to do with the Cape Colony being annexed by the British in 1815, but if anyone has any idea...

These feel like plastic and have the weight of plastic, but the red bracelet has pockmarks all along the inside as if they're some kind of natural...
Thanks Bev & moreotherstuff! I actually tried them Bev, and they were quite comfortable (though I'm sure they look like they wouldn't be with...
These came as an "extra" with something I purchased a while back, and if I recall correctly, the seller said that they were victorian ear clips....
Is that what a "worthy matron" is, milestoneks? I thought I had read somewhere that the gavel meant that the wearer had been a worthy matron or a...
That's good to know for future reference. I've been keeping a better eye out for these as I've found several that were unmarked gold.
Both were unmarked but tested as at least 10k. The shriner pin just sold; I think I still have the other one. I ended up putting them up...
Almandine, carbuncle, rhodolite, pyrope, demantoids...increased my vocabulary today!
Separate names with a comma.
