I have been trying to find info on this pin for years. I'm not sure what the metals are but it shines up like silver. I would love to know the maker. Any info would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Linda

This looks like a handmade silver and brass studio piece of fairly recent vintage (i.e., the last 20 years). Without a signature, the odds are stacked against identifying the maker.

Paul, do you mean by 'studio piece' that this was likely an artistic or educational endeavor rather than a commercial one? I've seen this sort of unsigned work result from 'classroom' settings.

By studio I mean to say not produced in a factory, but by hand in somebody's workshop/studio (or classroom).
