Well I found these 3 Silver Brooches, together at the Flea Market, and the Antique brass Brooch and the porcelean Birds, Butterflies, and Bugs Condiment Holder?, at the same place that I found the Duncan Miller Punch Cups, from my previous post. The Brass Brooch is Victorian I think, and unmarked, but it looks like it had red painted flowers, and green leaves. The Condiment Holder, also unmarked, but I think about the same age. The Hoop single clip-on Earring was in the same box, but no other found! :^( It's marked (C) Bereal or Berebl, looks like that, no other marks, but tarnished black like silver, or plate, and enameled black on the front. The Marcasite Lizard Brooch, was the reason for the post, because antiquerose, just posted one similar! Thanks Rose! :^D The Lizard is marked 925 on the underside belly, and it has ruby red crystal? eyes, and is 2" x 3/4". The Owl Brooch is 1 3/8" x 3/4", it has a blue enameled front, and the back is marked 925. The larger tri-metal Parrot Brooch is 1 7/8" x 1 1/2", it's marked in a circle TAXICO MEXICO, around the sides, meeting at 925 on the bottom of it, with TCP in the center. Also a METALES, also what looks like a 3 in a shield. On the front, the Parrot has copper wings, a brass beak, with copper tip, and the silver head and body has inlaid turquoise, outlining feathers, it stands on a silver branch.
Thank you for looking, all comments welcome! :^)
Very nice Bill, I love 'em all, esp the parrot he's gorgeous
Thanks Jenni, that's good because it was the most expensive! :^D The Earring is Edgar Berebi, I knew I could figure it out! Thank you for the love too! :^)

Thanks again Rose! :^)
Love the birds, the enamel on the owl is such a gorgeous color. Your Taxco brooch has the three in an eagle hallmark, which is the city code for Taxco, Mexico, and indicates a pre-1979 date. I think Metales refers to the fact that its a mixed or married metals piece, popular in mid century stuff from Mexico.
Thank you so much themuse, that's great to find out! :^D I'll try to remember, so I can let others know! :^)

Grrreattt finds, Bill!
The lizard is very cute, and I love all your brooches :-)
Thanks Pascal, I've been finding more jewelry, because I've been looking at more of it. I mean it takes up a lot less room then Pottery, Glass, Wood, and Metal. So now it's Paper, and Jewelry . . . and Pottery, Glass, Wood, Metal, oh, and Tools! :^D Oh well, I'm trying to down size! CW made me do it! :^)
Thank you always, for the time you give, and the love you spread, Pascal, and from the other side of the world Judy, it's always nice see you both! :^)
Mike, and aura, I'm so happy you loved these, thank you much! :^)
