Victorian Silver Greetings Brooch - 'Best Wishes' (SOLD)

Here is a nice example of a 19th Century sentimental message pin.  It is a maple type leaf brooch with the greeting 'BEST WISHES' picked out in bold capital letters.  There is a bold rim around the brooch and the leaf part has nice detailed veins and a tiny stem.   The brooch doesn't have a full silver hallmark just the words - SILVER and the letters 'RB' which are most likely the makers mark. It is a small sized item being approximately 1inch by 1 inch at its widest parts.  It is in very good condition and fastens with an old fashioned 'c' type clasp and pin.  Antique jewellery which sends a message makes an interesting gift.  A Victorian message brooch like this would also sit well in a collection of 19th Century name brooches.
