Featured Anything special here?

Hi all — Anything here that I should pull out of the “donate” pile?

Many many thanks!

 

Are you sure none are marked ? I like that little micro mosaic brooch,and the lapel watch is cute .I cant quite make out,but does that say "burger" girls ? Cause it sure looks like "bugger" !

 

I'd keep the micro mosaic and the Victorian tassel with black taille d'épargne enamel on the left of it!

 

Lol, it is soccer girls!
The little mosaic is a pin, but the pin closure has broken off...

Here are close ups of the watch...

 

If donating you can send to me



1. Marquisite belt buckle minimum value.
2. Kiwana's? possible gold or gold filled.
3. Can't see.
4. Can we see the back. Are they sterling?
5. May be sterling, is it marked?
6. Can we see the back? is it marked.
7. Mid to late 1800s. If the back is good I would think this has some value.
8 & 9 possibly 9K need better pictures.
10. Micromosaic
11. ?
12. People use old watches in new jewelry.
13. Is it a sorority pin? Looks like it says something on the circle
14. Repair parts
15. might be sterling. Repair parts.

Wow — thank you for sharing your thoughts!

2/3 The Kiwanis badge is together w one from American Legion and I think 2 from Freemasons... what to do w these??

4 is copper w enamel, no mark
5 is sterling, tx for suggesting that I look!
6 no mark, very shiny, not heavy...
7 back w loop for pendant... valuable?
11 says Girls W Soccer, must have been from 1940s school team...?
13 School pin! From Lake Erie College...

 

The leaf pin is costume - back gives it away. The circle has a mark on it; it might say "silver" but I can't see it from here. The ladies' skeleton ball watch might be worth something and might not, but it's cool. The micromosaic has a mark on the back - maybe 800; Italian tourist silver is often .800 fineness. And as Cluttered said, if you're throwing those earrings and the other pieces, throw 'em at me!

 

People collect Mason pins. Maybe 10K or gold filled. Double check.

#7 probably has the most value.

Agree with evelyb that #6 is gold colored leaf pin is costume. Saleable, but not a lot of dollars.
#8 is a lingerie pin looks gold plated.
#9 is a rolled gold or plated bar pin.

 

Are the Kiwanis, American Legion and Masonic pins gold or costume?

Thanks for asking and prompting me to look further...

Kiwanis: “14k gold top” (means what?)
Amer Legion: “14k”
Masons: Mark on one of the pin backs (it’s for the pin with the figure + sword); the other pin back is lost...

 

The oval one looks to be the real deal. Gold top is gold filled with an attitude.

 

Here are the other 2 pins...
they are teeny- tiny!

 

INH is correct the first one is a Shriner's pin. Looks like a little ruby. Never seen one with a face.

Second is a Mason's pin.

I would think both are collectible.

 

TY!!

 

Micro mosaic is lovely and old. (Gimme!)

 

Those shield-shape earrings need screwback tops to be proper. I wear screwbacks....

 

The Shriners and Masonic pins do look old and collectible. Here's one similar to the Shriners which sold on eBay recently for $49.99. Yours appears to be older and of better quality.
