Hello all... I used to sell a lot on eBay but I lost my daughter a few years ago and lately have stopped selling.
I was going thru of some of her jewelry items yesterday and came across these two vintage (or antique) pins or brooches. I am not sure if they would be called Victorian, or Edwardian? or maybe just vintage / antique pins?
Can anyone tell me? They both have a clear 'pin-back' although the top one with the green stone sort of looks like a shoe buckle, but it is not. It is a pin or brooch.
I don't want to make a claim that is untrue.
Thank you.

So sorry about your daughter.
The top pin is what is known as a sash pin and could be listed as antique, IMHO.
The second one is newer and probably is Austrian or possibly German from mid 40s to early 50s, would be my guess.
When showing your pieces, the backs can be as important as the fronts for identification.
