Found this a while ago and was wondering if someone could help we with a date or any other info. Could not find any maker marks. There is a brooch with a broken pin, a broach ring with different dog and an elephant designs on it, and a very interesting image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg piece of a neckless or bracelet.

The oval brass piece is called a sash pin. It has the pin missing. Turn of the century...late 1800's to early 1900's. The NECKLACE is hard to age,..but from patina maybe mid-1900's. Same with ring.

Thank you! The shash pin is older than I thought and it makes sense that it is a shash pin. I cleaned it up some more. Here are the cleaned up picks. I am pretty shure that it is silver plated by the way. image.jpg image.jpg thanks for the info on the other pieces too.

we usually refrain from washing, buffing a find
drastically decreases the value if any
Its normal to want to put your buckle under a wheel and polish
who dosent want to polish their find

Brady boy, I found all three in this old dump near my house that I hunt sometimes. There were all found in different parts of it. I cleaned it because I liked it and I am planing on keeping it for a nice piece in my collection.

Also, I just used a little Lemmon juice and hot water. Really good at cleaning silver plated pieces.

I have also found this necklace. I am not sure if the stones are real or if they are plastic or if they are glass but if someone can tell me anything about this piece too, that would be great. image.jpg image.jpg
Update: after closer inspection it seems that it says something on a loop on the end. I can not read it yet. If anyone can read it, please tell me. image.jpg
Little hard to see in the photo.

You might be able to lightly rub chalk over the raised letters to make them stand out better.

This is also Edwardian. 1900 - 1920 give or take... It's called 'fringe' style. Search "Edwardian fringe necklace" to see other examples.

I'm guessing it's costume jewelry but I wouldn't know a gem from a gym or a Jim.
