Just having another luck ..don't you think it looks more like a duck or swan, not that it makes much difference what type of bird it is it's still a brilliant find 8)

As it describes, scooping wax from your ear.

Nice brooch & very collectable, what do you mean I thought all brooches came out of the ground with pins
