Hit the right note

[Rock Sinders]

Not many targets but had a few quality finds come up.
Hilites: A $2 and a $1 Canadian coin, along with a Sterling pin with a musical theme.
It came up as a very nice tone lol.

I should've cleaned it up a little. It's quite an interesting item.

Nice sterling brooch. The maker mark before the copyright symbol that looks a bit like a dollar sign is, I believe, actually an upper case 'S' conjoined with a lower case 'b', similar to this (minor variations of the mark exist):

It's the mark used by Shube’s Manufacturing Inc. of Albuquerque, NM. They started operating sometime in the 1960s as a wholesaler and mail order business. In 2006 they were acquired by an Ohio conglomerate and continued trading under the new name “Shube’s Inc.” until late 2008 when they merged with the South Dakota Gold Company and then operated as “Dakota West Design” within the Ohio conglomerate.

The trademark was cancelled in 2002 after the owners failed to renew it.

That's some fantastic research there. I did see it was American-made but your information brings it home. Appreciate the history on this piece. Thanks!
