yep, tie clasp like masterjedi sez, however I believe the dupont emblem is gold and not just plated. It also appears to have 4 small stones. I do think the clip and chain and plated though. My guess is that it dates to the 60's and was probably a service award for a dupont employee
The reason I was asking was because I found a lot of old coins in this area. I definitely believe its 18K and the stones are diamonds. I just wasn't sure what the rest of it was made out of..whether its silver or what else would it be on such a nice emblem. Thank you tie clip makes much more sense.
eBay has some similar service awards. Seems the device is real gold (not plated) with real stones. Probably worth having a jeweler look at it. Nice find!
Thanks for everyone's reply , it s been in the ground for a long time and came out shiny. it was in a river bank so faced a lot of elements plus I got a silver dime and a large scent that I can't see the date.I wasn't expecting much and today turned outgreat. Well thanks again and Keep plugging
It's certainly a tie clasp, but it appears that it's gold plated with the possible exception of the name plate Dupont. Take a look. Everything else has corroded, but the nameplate has not. It is also the piece that is stamped 18K. Test the nameplate to know for sure one way or another.
