These were from the past 2 weekends at the Concord Flea Market. Mostly from box digging, except for the little cat Tussy Mussy, and the Bakelite and Silver Brooch, that were in cases, all were great buys though! :^D
The Flowers Brooch is unmarked Costume Jewelry, but a really nice looking Emerald, Diamond, and Sapphire, Rhinestones, and Silver metal, Brooch. Just a fun piece!
The single screw back Earring is marked Silver, and I think that it's Perils that make up the spray. I searched for the other one, but was not to be found! :^(
The little cat Tussy Mussy, flower holder brooch, is marked on the bottom, but unreadable, others that I saw like it on an image search, were marked sterling, or 800, and I think that's what this is, with a gold wash, I have some information on it that I'll add later.
The little Copper, with hammered Brass link chain Necklace, unmarked, but looks like it was made in the early 1920's? Not sure but it is interesting looking, but maybe leave a green mark on your neck!
Then the Lapis Bear and Silver bead Bracelet, again unmarked, looks Native American(North American), very cute Bracelet!
Last, the Bakelite, and Silver vent screen look, Brooch, it's a 3 3/4" curved black Bakelite, and silver Brooch, with a 3" pin back, maybe for holding a scarf, shawl, or flower spray in place, even as a hair clip? :^D
Thank you for looking, any information, questions, or comments welcome! :^)
Here's a link to an Etsy site that sold a Tussy-Mussy, similar to mine with the info. for it:

It's made by REDO in the 1950's? :^)

Until I got this one, I just thought they were budvase brooches, but learned this new term(to me anyway), for them. Apparently from the Victorian Era, though! :^)
