Brooch?

Hi all. My friend found this on his property, a farm that dates back to the 1830s. Brooch? Any thoughts as to age?

Thats a nice find. I am not positive, but I think I'm safe in saying its Victorian Era or earlier.

Might be a vintage sash buckle,

Turn of the century. Perhaps a little before or after

Depending on where this was found or dug, this could even be a civil war era sash buckle for an officers crimson red sash. Nice piece there. It looks like it could be from the 1850’s or 1860’s.

Interesting you say that, CWF - the property is on Valley Pike several miles south of Martinsburg in the northern Shenandoah Valley. Property's likely to be filled with CW artifacts. Can't wait to hit it myself in the new year!

Hey YALL! How much you think it's worth?

I have been researching this piece for an hour on google images and can't seem to find anything that looks like it.

Very pretty Edwardian sash pin/sash brooch, circa 1900.

You might try looking online at some Sears and Roebuck catalogue jewelry pages for brooches ,circa 1900 -1920 to see what you may find that is close to yours .
