Antique Large Mourning Hair Brooch Pin Inner Double Glass Swivels Great

  

Antique Mourning Hair Brooch Pin Inner Double Glass Swivels. This has the old C closure. There is a lock of hair tied with a braided red something - almost looks like dyed hair because it is compiled of strands. Measures 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" widest parts (total area). This brooch is probably from the mid-1800's.

Overall in very good condition for it's age. Looks like it could be opened by prying apart.

But I never tried it. The double glass part swivels. I haven't tested the gold value - My guess is that the outer frame which is engraved, is probably gold filled. The inner glass frame part looks to be plated?

I can't be sure - it looks more brassy than the outer frame. This item is in the category "Jewelry & Watches\Vintage & Antique Jewelry\Mourning Jewelry". The seller is "ccc0336" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
