[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 10464995, member: 15376"][CENTER]I've found on ebay this interesting brooch, starting bid 49e. I can't decide if this is something special or a nothing burger, so I thought I'd bring it to the court for your verdict. The pin is long but the stones are open backed, so earliest is probably 1870ish? Grecian/ancient style of portrait The setting almost looks like gold? Different color to the brooch itself, which is brass (right?) But I can't decide if everything I've just said is right or not, I need some expert eyes on this one! Thank you all in advance as usual :joyful: [ATTACH=full]526399[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]526396[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]526397[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]526395[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
