32 SP  -  AMERICAN EAGLE & SHIELD LADIES HAT PIN C.1830-60   The eagle/shield is a regulation stamped brass Army hat insignia.  2 1/2" wide wing span.  Fine detail and condition.  Reverse has 5 1/2" long, silvery tapered, strong and high quality pin affixed.  During the Civil War and up through the Spanish American War, it was a popular practice to make jewelry by transforming insignia into some wearable decorative object.  Over the years we've seen many hat pins (usually made from buttons).  This piece is more uncommon and very attractive.  $95

33 SP  -  BEAUTIFUL WWII PATRIOTIC PIN   Large bow with great eagle emblem. This one screams 1940's.  Large original pin, 3 1/4" wide x 1 5/8" high.  Has a great rendering of the National Emblem in good looking plastic over gold tone disc in middle, set against a large red-white-blue sheet metal bow.  Pin back.   $45

34 SP  -  SUPER RARE CROSSED MUSKET CUFF LINKS   Because the motif employs the crossed muskets rather than crossed rifles as found on late 19th Century insignia and jewelry, I am inclined to date these early rather than late.  In either case, cuff links are very seldom encountered with an obvious military theme.  These are 9/16” square, oriented diamond-wise, with white fired enamel backing, gold line borders, and applied brass crossed muskets.  Reverse has screw post and round nut.  One could be used as a lapel pin.  From our personal collection.  $50

STERLING" plus three touch marks and "H. H. CHANDLER AND SON CHARLESTOWN" below (sorry the photos are blurry).  You can see the back of the eagle is stamped "STERLING", partially covered by where it was attached.   $40
