    Description

    C-Clasp.  Black faceted glass.  Suppose to be Civil War era or older but I have no proof, so you be the judge. Guaranteed old- not repro.  Measures approx. 2 1/2" x 1 3/8".  Large black oval stone is approx. 7/8" x 5/8" and domed.  Has 6 Small, approx. 1/8" round black glass stones.  All stones are faceted.  Unknown what metal is.  Looks like acorns, Oak leaves & pods.  I have not tried to polish - original patina- I do not think it is silver or gold, but a nice mourning brooch.  Metal rim, not prongs, holds the stones in.
    Any questions, please let me know.  Will be well packed & Insured.
