Silver oriental fan brooch sterling

Any age on this? For the life of me I can't make out where it was "made in"

Thanks,
Kevo

That should make it pre-1939.

No problem. This will probably help date your item :

The country's official name was Siam until 23 June 1939, when it was changed to Thailand; it was renamed Siam between 1945 and 11 May 1949, after which the name Thailand was once again adopted.

Not sure why it was changed back (and back again) in the late 1940s ...
