    Can someone help me identify these badges please? I seem to be coming across them at auctions and antique fairs quite often now but no one knows where they come from. They seem to resemble some sort of bottle top turned into badges but I can't find out. Not sure how old they are either.

    Tin badges with possible enamelling or other metal work.

    2-3cm in diameter.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

      Are there any marks pr stamps on backs?
    2. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      You may have them tested for silver... These are victorian brooches :-)

      Agree with Kyra !! They are all beautiful......

      Kyra is correct. These are all English Victorian Silver brooches. The enamel one had a locket in the back for a photo or hair.

      Hi all, thanks for your comments that's really helpful. Strange I've only just come across these now after years of antique buying.
      Dizzydave - none are marked.
      Kyra, Tassie & Jewels - They are lovely items, thank you so much for your help :-)
