Late Victorian Mourning Target Black Enamel Pin
This little pin is 7/8” in diameter and is very pretty! It has a gold tone, but I think it’s brass. The center is a little black cabochon,

Victorian Mourning Hair “Prince of Wales” Brooch
This mourning pin is just great; I just wish I knew the providence behind it! It measures 2” by 1 ¾” and the pin stem
sticks out from behind the brooch. The 3 curls with the pearls at the base are called “Prince of Wales” design. They seem
to be sitting on a milk glass background, which was very popular in the 1860’s to 1880’s. The brooch has the “C” clasp
and is done in gilded brass. It’s in very good condition for the age of the brooch. The beveled glass top has some
scratches and cuts which are visible at close inspection, yet it’s a great example of mourning jewelry.
