[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 3066479, member: 63"]Hi All, wondering about this bar pin - it is in an on-line auction, description is [I]unmarked sterling poison pin, 2 1/4", secret compartment behind amethyst stone.[/I] I've asked for a photo of the back, they will send one on Friday, also replied with a description - [I]It's an old fashioned one, very simple with no hinge on the pin or clasp on the loop.

Maybe I should have waited until I have a photo of the back to post this, but going down rabbit holes while searching is more appealing than doing some housework:) any ideas or information appreciated thanks for looking:) [ATTACH=full]292344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]292345[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
