Context
Wiseman states: as far as I know these three tiny, stamped ring brooches have not been reproduced for the reenactor trade. I purchased them from a reputable dealer who said in post purchased correspondence that they had a Salmon (Falls) River Valley (Border of Maine and NH) provenance and were found with some other 18th century personal items in an old house but would not give me the village they came from. They are in almost pristine condition.
