Picked all of this up today. None have markings. The circle pin, although understated, is beautiful and has the older style hook pin. The owl was just too cute to pass up and the other items just caught my eye.

Thanks! My only rule when out and about is to only buy what I like a lot. I will not pick up anything that is "ok" or just because it might be old, ect. If I keep thinking about the piece I initially passed on, I will go back and get it. If gone, I was not meant to have it. Not sure what I like more now though...the hunt to find them or the research to figure out what I have!
Hi Thriftfan.. I couldn't have said it better! I do exactly the same thing.
I have lost out on too many great things that way, but I don't buy just to buy. Nice score, looking forward to seeing more of your collection! Happy hunting!
Appreciate the love Beaux!
