Hey folks! Want to post on of my favorite relic of the season 2016. This is sterling pin of Victorian era. Found it in Montreal three months ago. The funny story happened cause i found old brick first and just took it for better observation. Then put it aside and swing the coil where this brick was before. Viola - cool relic showed up and made me happy! The size of it is like US quarter though. Thanks for the comments guys. Want to put this picture as an avatar but system doesn't allow.??? PS as long as posted it the avatar showed up in the right spot. Cool stuff EIH?

Very cool find. Thanks for the photo!
 

It's a nice pin!
Reminds me of WWl sweetheart pins, any marks on the back to indicate age?
Great start to a relic case!!

Thanks for the comment. It has rode with the groove for the C-clip at the back. Marked STERLING. The shape of the crown tells that it is Victorian era . Edwardian and GV crowns are different shape Sir.
 

Given that it is obviously french it has nothing to do with Victorian (or Edward) crown shape.
Great find.
