The mystery mark pinched on my previous post of the monkeys brooch is too on both lizards, with this time a 925 for silver purity!
As you can see, high quality work, in solid heavy silver.
End of victorian era, these animal brooches were qualified as Novelty.
Biggest is 2.3/4"
Smallest is 2.1/4"
As the big one's pastes were a little dull, I enhanced them with green Sharpie...
Now I have a demantoid beast ;-)
I'm sure someone (even me!) will finaly find out who is this mysterious maker!
HELP!
I like them, but no clue about the mark. Almost looks like a basket.
I searched for urn, etruscan vase, amphora, bell...
Thank you anyway Efe!
Thank you too OAS! Hope your eye is going better.
OAS, I deleted our little chat about the grouch, please don't look at me with big eyes (French saying: faire les gros yeux!) Take care :-)
These are so nice Kyra! I love the pic with the tree, almost looks like a lizard wearing a bejeweled suit of armor...
Hello Rick, thank you for your love and so nice comment! Highly appreciated :-)
Many thanks dear Valentino for loving my critters ;-))
Oh OAS, sorry to hear you are getting headaches from the eye. :(
kyratango, your little beasties are always a joy to behold. :)
Thanks to the 16 lovers!
I am so thankful for the support--I did make a report. I struggle so to see, There are times, when tired, I need to use caps so I can fix my constant typos.
thank you Bladerunner and Manikin for your very appreciated loves!
I knew I saw more of your lizards before, kyratango! :)
Lol Katherine! I became lizard-maniac! Hope they won't eat my bugs...
Manikin, Caperkid, thank you for your visit and love !
