estruscan pin
This beautiful pin is very unusual. It reminds me of Owl's eyes. It is brass and is in the Etruscan Style with fancy little ropes and balls. It has two red stones in the middle of each circular portion of the pin. These look like rubies but are untested. There are three more smaller red stones on each side of the pin which are surrounded by fancy ropes and balls. The pin clasp  looks like a safety pin latch on the head where the pin goes in. The initials PSC are engraved on the clasp. It is in good vintage condition with the only flaws noted are two of the very small balls on the side are missing or worn down and one small rope area is all missing off of the bigger ball on the top of the pin right below the braided  area.  This does not detract at all from the beauty of this fine pin. The Pin measures approx. 1 3/4" by 3/4" wide.

lingerie pins
This trio of Lingerie pins connected by two chains are so sweet. I have also seen these called Baby Pins, Not sure which is the correct term.  They are marked 14k on the C- clasp of each pin. I'm not sure the chains connecting them are 14k or just gold filled as on one chain there are two areas that are darker than the rest of the chain. Otherwise these are in great condition.  These little beauties are gold with greenish blue enameled flowers with  white enameled leaves. Each little pin measures an inch long. The total length including the chains is 9 1/2".  When I originally purchased these, the previous owner stated that it is unusual to find  these type of pins all together with the chain still intact.  Nice set for the collector.

Older Brass pin with different size round turquoise balls that seem to be make of plastic. This pin is signed L/N on the back on the stem. This pin is very well made. It is in good vintage condition with small amount of metal wear mostly on the back. There are some very small wear spots on a couple of the balls, but you have to look real close to see them. The brass could use a good polishing if you desire. This nice pin comes with a bonus buckle done in the same color of blue. They are not a set that I know of but they did come from the same estate sale. The buckle seems to be plastic also but it does have some crazing on the front like old glass will get as it gets older, otherwise it is also in good vintage condition.   Picture of Both .  

The pin measures 3 1/4" long  by 2" at the widest point. The buckle measures 21/4".

This an unusual pin in its looks and construction.  It seems to be brass or copper stamped metal. It is a large pin. It is done in a flower motif around the edges with balls and intricate detail. It also resembles victorian hollowware in the way it looks from the front, but is actually stamped and is not made of gold. Here is a picture of the back of pin.

It seems to be two pieces attached at the back, then on the front is another piece attached in the middle making this a very 3 dimensional pin. It is in good vintage condition with some metal wear or darkening and some small areas of green corrosion but not much. Could use a good cleaning, in fact it looks like it was cleaned in the past and some of the green areas were caused by what was used to clean it, like it was not cleaned properly, but it is still a nice old piece, and again very unusual. It measures approx. 3 3/4" long by 1 3/4" at the widest point . Very nice piece of victoriana or good example of the beginning of the industrial era when machines were first used to make jewelry. I don't know this for sure, but just an observation on my part.   ITEM # 106    PRICE:  $10.00

Very pretty brass and enameled pin with very fine filigree with green rhinestones.  Colorful flowers done in different colored enamels surround this unique pin. Colors include blue, green, orange, white, pale pink, yellow, then a layer of brass filigree detailing, circle of prong set green rhinestone, more brass filigree, then finally in the middle is a pale green moonstone looking cab.
To me this pin looks like czech style, but not positive. I think this pin has a very unique and pretty look. Very Spring time. It measures 2" long by 1 1/2" wide. This is in very good vintage condition with small amount of wear to enamel, but need to really look close to see, does not detract at all. The back closes with a simple c-clasp.

Pretty pastel pin. The colors in this pin remind of Hollycraft, but this good quality, heavy duty pin is unsigned. It is silver tone metal with clear and pastel colored rhinestones that are all prong set. The bigger rhinestones are oval shaped and rectangular shaped and the big one in the middle is pale yellow and round. It is in very good vintage condition with some of the smaller clear stones starting to darken a little, but still lots of  color and sparkle.  This pin is perfect for the Spring season. It measures  1" across.

PRICE:  $20.00

Old brass pin with frosted glass and  clear  rhinestones around the border of the pin. This is  very definitely an old pin,
maybe from the 1920's or so? It has that look about it or might be even older.. Good vintage condition with some metal wear  and minor darkening to some of the stones. The frosted glass does have a small crack but it is hard to see as it is at the bottom where the piece of brass goes over the glass. The glass is still intact as the crack does not go all the way through. There is also some chipping to the frosted glass on the back , but you can't tell from the front. This old pin still has a lot of life left in it.. It measures 1 1/2" across.

Silver basket looking pin.  This is another unusual looking pin. It looks like a basket of leaves with a handle. The little colored ball s came with it so I just left them in there. It looks to be silver but no markings. It has the trumpet clasp. It is in good vintage condition. It probably had a gold wash at one time, but most of it is gone, but still has a nice patina. It measures 1 3/4" long by 3/4" wide.

BSK Star burst pin with turquoise.  WOW!! the sparkle on this neat pin is awesome. Very pretty in gold tone with clear sparkling rhinestones and little turquoise balls, and a WOWSER 1/2" big clear rhinestone in the middle. The picture doesn't do it justice.  I was going to say this was in excellent condition and then I just noticed 2 of the little balls are missing, but I've had this pin for a while and never noticed the missing balls before, so I would rate it in very good condition and you can't even tell the little balls are missing unless you really study it. There is so much sparkle and glitter that you won't notice either if its on your blouse. Also they can be easily replaced. Very good quality made pin, very sturdy besides beautiful... It measures 2 1/4" around. Very nice size..

Pin measures  2" long by 1/4" wide.

Wood style pin with flowers.  This is a really neat pin. It is made of wood and looks like cherry wood or mahogany, at least the colo r of it. It has some kind of carved old plastic flowers attached, could be celluloid.  It looks like it might be hand made and maybe was something else at one time as there is a hole in the back and then above that you can see where the pin back was glued on. It is a very nice old pin and in very good condition.  It measures 2 1/2" long by 1 3/4" wide. The color of the flowers in white with a pinkish, orangish wash and olive green in the middle. Really an intriguing old pin. Very Nice!!
