[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10688300, member: 2844"]They are both 18th century imo. The 'boomerang' brooch has excellent quality black dot paste. You don't mention or show the size, but I would say a belt or sash buckle. A shoe buckle is usually rounded to 'fold' over a shoe, except if it sits on top of a broad bow or similar decoration on the shoe. To hook into a hole in the other end of the belt or sash. The wide toothy bit secures the buckle to its own end of the belt/sash, the prongs hook into the other end.[/QUOTE]
