Re: lapel pins,genuine cloisonne,need help

from the color of the pins, might i suggest that a store burned down...

Thanks pippinwhitepaws. They are just dirty and some of the finish has
corroded away.

Nuns LOL. Was an old store on the location? Maybe someone was selling them and had a box full.

They were found on the side hill next to Saint Marys Hospital in the city park.

Im sorry it just seemed funny. Maybe a connection. I dunno.
I guess nuns have to tie their hair up underneath. Interesting find.

You say they were not all together?

None of them were in the same hole. About 15 of them were in a 6 ft. area.
Some were scattered as you went up the hill on both sides of a path up to 15 ft. from
the area I found the 15. and some below. Kinda strange. I dont think I got all of them
but I'm finished there. I was hopeing to find a few silver coins. roger

Sounds like they may have been dumped over the hill or a box fell off a wagon.

 

[ivan salis]

was the "hospital" place ever used as a TB ward? might be "contaimated" items from dead folks -- folks feared "catching" the illness --so often folks non high dollar items(if not silver or gold) were dumped in a dumping area on the grounds

bravo....almost as good as the wagon theory...no sarcasm intended...
