✅ SOLVED Sterling Jewelry and Silverplate questions

[dw171]

Picked up these items over the last few weeks. First up is a sterling flower pin. I've searched eBay and Google for "Sterling flower pin". Haven't found one like it yet. There's small stones in it. Not sure what kind. Second is a set of silver plate knives. They're stamped Meriden Cutlery Co Pat April 1867 12. I'm guessing the 12 is the amount of silver they used to plate it. I know 1867 is a pattern, but I haven't seen any knives like these. They're not stamped anywhere else. Next is a Gorham butter knife? Its only stamped on the blade Gorham MFG Co. Nothing else is on it. I think the handle is sterling, not sure. Last is a Japan Stainless Steel knife. Its marked Bridalenc? followed by Stainless Japan. I'm not sure the first word is Bridalenc. I've tried several variations similar to that, but haven't found anything. Its a nice knife, just trying to figure out if its worth much. Sorry the markings on the knives aren't clear. They're fairly worn down and even hard to read in person. Any help on these items is appreciated. Thanks
