Antique Foster & Bailey VICTORIAN Sterling Silver Hand-Painted Bar Pin Brooch

Antique Foster & Bailey Victorian 925 Sterling Silver Hand-Painted Pin Brooch. It features a dainty floral design that is most likely hand painted with gold details at each end. This pin has been dated by it's design and clasp closure, and also the manufacturers mark.

The floral hand painting is lovely. You can polish the back if you prefer it. But shows a lovely natural patina only an antique item can have. HISTORY: Foster and Bailey was an American silversmith that operated between the years of 1878 and 1898. Prior to that the firm was known as White & Foster, from approximately 1873 up until 1878.

Between 1898 and 1951 the company continued to operate under the name Theodore W. However it used the same "F&B" hallmark on its silver as Foster and Bailey. Which can make it difficult to determine when a piece was made. My pictures were all taken with a zoom lens so that you can see the details. They look larger than they actually are.

Please check the actual measurements.
