    Old Brooch?

    I found this today, I think it's an old brooch but not sure. The small stones around the outer edge are hard to see in the picture, they are a very ligh pink color; I think the metal is brass.
    I will appreciate any information on it & thanks!

    Could you post larger/close-up pics of the front and back? From what I can see, it looks like a 1950's era pin/brooch. Nice find, Breezie

    Thanks Breezie. I tried to add a couple more pictures and it tells me I have already submitted the post.
    Once I figure out how to do it, I will add them.

    Cool find, I agree looks like an old brooch.

    It looks like it has a central attachment, so I would say it's from some larger piece of jewelry.

    I think you are right, after looking closer at it, I don't see any place where the pin for a brooch would have been.

    What they call a sticker pin, brooch was made and pin was loosely(kinda like a tacweld) attached , only to be used in special occasions.

    fireman4youu, after your last post on this I did some more research and found a picture of a brooch from the 1950's made the way you explained. Thank you & Breezie very much for solving this.
