Anniversary, Stick Pins, usually tarnish

[silverdollarbill]

Picked up these pins. There are two 14k and two 10k and one 9k. One is dated 1943 so others could be from that time frame. The TOTO fraternal pin is awesome. It's for 50 yrs, detail is great, and diamond looks good.


The stick pins are not marked. One is not gold. 3 test for 10k. One has a sterling head, but seems to be gold pin.

Got this pin with one of these lots. Unmarked but was nice. Looked like silver plate which seems odd. Polished up and looks like multi-tone gold. Test looks good for 12k or so.

Definitely learned about the pins on here. Thanks they friends!

These were actually garage sale finds, but I posted in the wrong forum. Also, got this token from person I bought the stick pins from.



And these cuffs from the person I bought the service pins from. I thought the rock on the one was painted at first.



Anyone have a good resource for researching service pins?

Love it when I find a box of those old heirloom label pins in an antique store. Seems many folks don't see much in them, but I see gold in the older ones.

Great finds! I picked up my first 14k unmarked stick pin a few weeks ago. Definitely something new to look for.

Is it a good idea to test all of the stick pins? I see you all finding them but I haven't had much luck with them yet.
