What are these??

[JohnCada]

I found these in one of my deceased relatives stuff and cannot find anything very similar to them. I think they had something to do with military uniforms. One is brass and the other silvery. Possibly it is not military but some sort of civil service achievement tie clip. I doubt they are of high value but they seem not to be common.

is there solder residue on the back of the clips at all ? the type of clip looks more like a sweater or stole clip, that would have a chain between them.

I noticed that this is your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard JohnCada! Take a look at Sub-Forums: Montana for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

I would assume they are soldered but I see no residue of any kind between the clip and button.

Looks like tie clips to me.

I suspect they are women's earrings.

I suspect they are women's earrings.

Probably not in that they would hurt like H. The clips are strong. The thing that I keep wondering about is that they are not of the same material. so they would not be worn as a pair.

Yes, but I can't find anything on the internet that resembles them. I worked for the State of MT and every 10 years we would receive a gold tie tack with a different stone inset in them. But they were actual tacks not clips. These definitely look like some government entity produced them. Both of my relatives were in the service but none them produced anything like these, at least that I can find?

It looks like the clips were made to grip a thick material.
