Small Antique Pin Lock Pat. May deals 31,1896 Mourning Brooch Tintype Portrait Victorian Collectible Photograph Jewelry Gold Tone Pin Accessories

Beautiful Antique and Small Tintype Photograph Mourning Brooch/Pin made in England. The Photograph sits in a Gold Tone decorative frame and the back is tin and stamped "PIN-Lock with a Patent Date of May 31, 1896". It closes with a hinge type pin and C Clasp . I have not deals Acid Tested this to see if it was real Gold, but there is a possibilty that it is 9kt. The Photograph/Picture is of a man and it has some issues as you can see. I understand that this happens from exessive heat such as wearing it out in the sun. I have left this antique as is with all it's patina. The cleaning will be up to you, the buyer.

This measures approximately:
1-1/16 inches Diameter
