went to a new spot metal detecting sunday

the property owner says that eleanor roosevelt use to ride her horse on the property

then i found this sliver art deco brooch

note the great seal at the bottom

this could really be a gift giving to one of the best first lady's this country has ever had
i am waiting for some more information from The Historian of the U.S. Department of State.

FDR had a Scottish Terrier for a pet and that sure looks like one to me...

Truly amazing find! Great Seal, same dog, it has to be.

Find a picture of her wearing it and you'll be set

Amazing find

Fascinating find ! Looks like a custom order "one off " . There could be some photo evidence of the existence of this brooch in archives of the first lady !

I would be contacting the Library of Congress on this find.

Hmmm...she was in upstate New York in May 1933...so could very well be while she was there on vacation that she dropped it...see link below...
