Brooch in Backyard

[ellietanner56]

We were moving plants around in our backyard today and came across what looks like a brooch with a flower on the front. I did my best to take a shot of the maker's mark on the back but none of the pictures turned out, so I drew it to the best of my ability. Everything is accurate except for the last pictogram - that was the best I could discern. Does anyone have any information on this piece? Thanks for the help!

No idea of the mark, but sure has the look of silver. You can give it a soak in lemon juice and see if some of the tarnish wipes off.

Looks like silver.

I know it is hard to focus, but a picture of the marks sure would help.

(sometimes you get better autofocus if you lay the piece flat on a surface to shoot it)

I'd love to see to marks.

Beautiful piece. I agree it definitely looks silver. Congrats to you!

I'm sorry for the delay in reply, guys, I've been trying to get a better quality picture of the marks on the back but they are tiny. I'll keep trying.
As for it being silver, it feels very light, almost like the weight of tin, so could it still be? Again, thank you for the interest and I'll keep trying for better pictures!

I wouldn't know what to think about the weight, without knowing how thick it was, and how it was constructed.

What makes me think it is silver is first the color and luster, and secondly, how beautiful and finely crafted the piece is.

I have handled an awful lot of silver, and generally the plated pieces or base metal pieces are nowhere near as finely made as this piece.

So I suspect it is silver. The marks would of course, help tell for sure.

Thanks guys! And thank you for that link Karlsin, I couldn't find it on there but I think I finally managed to get a good picture of the maker's mark. Hopefully these help?
