DORA Sterling Silver Name Brooch - Birmingham 1886

This very pretty Victorian brooch has the name DORA on it in applied block capital letters.   Details on this antique name pin include engine engraving and applied flower with two leaves at the top and bottom of the name brooch, two sweet small open flowers applied at either end and 8 ball decorations around the outside of the silver brooch. This collectable antique name brooch has a few dings commensurate with its age and it also has had its pin reattached with old fashioned solder.  It is still lovely and very wearable and its faults make it a most affordable name pin.  Fully hallmarked as English Sterling Silver ( Lion passant) with the Birmingham symbol of the Anchor for the assay office and the letter 'm' for 1886. The brooch is 135 years old so is a remarkable survivor from a bygone time.  The makers mark is A & C being the makers marks of  Able & Charnell (Thomas Able & Walter James Charnell) jewellers based in Frederick Street, Birmingham.  So the Dora name pin is in as described condition.  The name brooch, oval in shape,  measures 4 cms by almost 2cms and has a long pin with old fashioned 'c' type clasp to the reverse.  Would make a lovely gift for a new baby Dora  or a good, lower priced example to add to a name pin collection.
