    Picked this up today for $35, it's 14k with a little moonstone. The clutch on this pin is extremely cool. I have never seen one like it! As always help with dating would be great! The clutch seems to be older than the pin? I'd date the pin probably 1940s and the clutch maybe early 1900s? Thoughts?

    Is that just uck on the pin stem? The clutch is worth the price of admission; I've never seen another one like it either, and I thought I'd seen just about everything. Odds are it was expensive to make, so they didn't make many.

    No, actually its interesting. You push the pin though and the ball thing pushes outward, then when you try to pull it off its stuck on the pin. To get it off you pull the ball out and it comes right off. Hard to explain in text but it can go on any stick pin

    It looks cool, but I was referring to what looks like copper coming through on the shaft of the pin itself. It may just be gunk, but it's hard to tell from a photo.

    Not a clue, but I'm betting that clutch is pre-WWI.
