BroochContext
Wiseman states: This brooch, along with L2024.3.4-5 and L2024.3.7-8, were found in a Riker mount in the group shop, with a Western NH provenance and an assurance that they were solid coin silver and old. They were in almost pristine condition without much if any crinkling of the central prong. I worry that they were good repros, but they are not embossed “India” like many modern reproductions. They were full price, so I bought them for the provenance, but am unsure of their age, since trade silver is not my specialty.Acquisition
