I bought this off Geri yesterday for about 5 bucks. I've never seen one like it. There are two silver marks: 925 and ZI. The other mark is the silversmith mark, but it beats me what it represents. Not made in the Netherlands. In image search with the brooch against a neutral background turned up zero.
My chances of finding out what that mark is are probably about zero, too! Might be 1920s - might be 1980s.
Give it your best shot, my friends!
Thanks

The pin cover is modern. That's all I know!
Very interesting pin. What is ZI?
ZI is a mark for Sterling Silver.
Bonnie you are finding some curious pieces lately!!!!
Great looking seagull!!! I googled everything I could think of......such an unusual stickpin type fitting though......very strange....
Judy - I think it's a pigeon. I didn't find a gol darn thing, either.... :-))))
Bonnie, this is probably nothing to do with your bird but I was searching for a turtle and found this!!!
