Found this a few days ago in an old school yard.
It is stamped sterling
Would anyone know a date range for this
Also, is that a whip??

Thanks

I like the pin. I'm no jewelery expert but it looks rather modern to me but I hope I'm wrong.

Cool find,

use the clasp as a guide to it's age -

do a google search on jewelry clasp - you'll get a good idea on how old it is

Nice find,

It is a older one for sure. Pin backs are the oldest type. I have a bunch of older one's and the pin is never silver on them. I'd take a guess probably from the 40's or late 50's.

Looks older to me. That's an english saddle and I believe the whip is called a "riding crop". I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!
Nice find!
