Stick Pin

Jewelry

Fleur-de-lis of sterling silver. The stick pin is soldered onto the fleur-de-lis. The pin has a spiral grove cut into it, 1/2" long, about halfway up the pin. There was probably once a "keeper" which would have been pushed onto the pin and screwed up the spiral groove to hold the pin in place. Pin is 2 2/3" long.
