    Found this the other day and thought it to be interesting. These tie bars are usually from the 40s or 50s? Anyhow the pendant appears to be gold although I have not tested it. However these are definitely gold nuggets pasted on the front with what appears to be a wolf?? Interesting piece, I am thinking about maybe turning it into a necklace pendant that I could wear!

    The 'nuggets' look like placer gold, the flakes that show up in the bottom of a pan when you're panning for gold (great fun; if you find any). Alaska's not the only U.S. state where they commonly appear; have seen them on jewelry made in Colorado, Wyoming, etc., and England. These were also mimicked by metal shaping, then electroplating.
