E.F. Wiedmann Frankfurt A.M. Stickpin 25 Year Service Stickpin? I'm assuming this is a service pin. I've spent countless hours researching this. The makers mark on the back Wiedmann manufactured Nazi Medals and Car Badges. The stickpin is red, white and black enameil. Large S with a little h on the red and a B on the white enamel. There is another pin just like it marked with 40 (40 years with the same company? WOW!). This 40 yr pin only has Wiedmann on the back. This pin is longer in length...2-1/4". The 25 year pin is just 2" long. This is the older of the two. Very good condition on both pins.
PLEASE! if you have any information on these stickpins, please email me! I love learning about the history of the pieces I sell.

Victorian Era Walnut Bog Oak Stickpin. This is the weirdest stickpin I've ever encountered. It seems to be a NUT...Walnut? That is what it looks like in SHAPE. I was told this is most likely bog oak but am not 100% positive. Bog oak was popular in the mid-late Victorian era. Measures 25mm wide x 20mm thick. This measures 2-3/4" long. Excellent condition. A true rare find.

M679 Price: $28.00
Edwardian Delicate Etruscan Wire Work Hat Pin. Rolled Gold over Brass. You can see the brass at the pin point area where it has worn. That is the only flaw in this 5-1/2" long Hat Pin. The top is comprised of very delicate wire work and measures 1/2" in diameter. Excellent condition for a piece of this age. The Edwardian period began when Queen Victoria’s eldest son, Edward VII born November 9, 1841, became King of England; his reign ended in May 6, 1910. This period saw the first phases of the larger wide brimmed hat; although there were very many hat styles that were popular during this era, we remember it mostly for the wide brimmed Edwardian hat style. This era also spawned the Gibson Girl hairstyle which also generated very wide brimmed hats that required hat pins to keep them perched upon the head. 1860s.

Vintage Garnet Rhinestone Cross Cravat/Stickpin. This was sold to me as an Antique but I believe this is from the 1940's when riveted jewelry was the 'thing' due to war time issues. This riveting was used on war materials, in the early 40' and the manufacturers acquired the machinery and techniques to make parts for war machinery. As many costume jewelry manufacturers received large contracts for such materials from the government, they had to have this capability. Joseff of
Hollywood produced lots of highly specialized machined parts, and so did Trifari, and many others. After the war was over, they had the riveting machinery and applied it to costume jewelry. It was fast and less labor-intensive than the hand-assembled and hand-soldered pieces. From the front, the riveted jewelry looked almost as good as the hand-crafted, too. So here we have this cross that looks older than it is. These are prong set garnet colored rhinestones --- not garnets. This measures 2-1/2" x 3/8". This is in good condition.
