Found this brooch out at the old smokehouse site I posted a week or so ago. This brooch surprised me when I was cleaning it up at how much color is yet left on it. Any ideas on approximate age? I have no expertise in dating jewelry, any help would be awesome!!!

it is either half of a sash buckle or part of a broken suspender buckle. I vote for the 1st
