<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eils14, post: 9616616, member: 14776&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I have this very old cut steel brooch that I would like some thoughts on. I know cut steel brooches tended to be made in the 19th century but the earliest were made in the 18th century, so I am wondering thoughts on the age of this piece? The back of the brooch is like no other brooch I have, making me think it has some age to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also wondering about the rhinestones on it, do you think these have been added at a later date?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also noticing a small amount of what looks like rust in one area of the steel, is there anything I can do to clean this, or is it best to leave it in case it has been there for some time?</p><p><br /></p><p>TYIA for any help you can give.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]469192[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]469193[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]469194[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]469195[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
