<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 9798869, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">Hello all! Got two bits over the weekend, wanted to get your thoughts on these before I write down their details in my catalog notebook.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This spoke to me from a bowl at a car boot sale. I&#039;m sure this isn&#039;t a unique as I see Marys etc a lot but who was Eva? Just seemed so personal I had to have it. Its teeninsy, max a couple of centimeters. Got it for the grand total of 50c. Is this a brooch for the collar like where a cameo would go, or is this perhaps a pin for some layer of undergarment? Generally I go with if the pin is raised rather than straight its older, but is this the case with this one? I would want to put it around the same time as my mini painting brooch 1860s, but not sure if thats correct. I&#039;ve not tested for silver, seems like the hardware is silver but the letters arent? Its not a replacement front to my eyes.</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]486204[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]486205[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This was an ebay purchase. I&#039;m really enjoying these seed pearl pieces, they&#039;re always sweet. Jury&#039;s out on the middle pearl, I&#039;m thinking its real but it also comes off so need to attach it again. This is marked silver, boars head (800, 183<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cool.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" />. We have the raised pin, but the construction/pin length/design makes me want to say c1900?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]486209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]486210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]486208[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Of course as always thank you all &lt;3</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
