The brooch is GP base metal with possibly a replacement pin of unknown metal- the acid went browner not red but the test streak metal went all flakey in suspension which I’ve not seen before. </p><p>Id love to hear how old you think the coral beads or clasp are and the brooch. Will need to be restrung with knots but do these beads go together?!.</p><p>Almost don’t dare to ask about what the green beads could be!</p><p>Thanks for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]234976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
