A couple of finds

[steve_rowlands]

Hi guys , hope you all had a great festive period. I got out today for the first time in a while, I found a lot of the usual suspects but I'm struggling with these 2 finds...as always any help is appreciated.

Photos 1 and 2 the item has a flower pattern on it.

Photos 3 and 4 I'm thinking some sort of brooch?

P.s ...as a bonus I found this, hoping it's a Martian Meteorite [emoji849][emoji1787] but if anyone has any ideas feel free to chime in. I have posted it on the geological section so no worries really.

So pictures 3 and 4 are the Tudor clothes fastener?

Yes, just missing its loop.

PS. It has a further story to tell, an old repair. It's hook had a longer shank & the tip broke off, so to fix it they re-bent it with the shorter stub that was left. Happened quite a lot, had many like it.

Awesome.

As always your patience and insight are appreciated. [emoji106]
