Small silver ducks...
« on: August 26, 2014, 06:42:15 pm »
Ave!

AR, each at ca. 22mm

Are these two silver birds from brooches? As seen in the photo, there is no pin attachment. Soldered?

Help!

Thanks,

Kevin

I don't think so.  I would guess they were decoration for something else.  Soldered to the rim of a vessel perhaps.
