Russian Silver Button/Coat Ornaments?
Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2017 10:37 am
Hi,
I have two overall puzzling pieces. They were given to me as "Hungarian Coat Ornaments" so I have decided to put them in the jewelry forum, however, I am not certain of their purpose.
This piece is about 2.75in (Height) x 2.00in (Width) x 2.00in (Depth). Aside from the purity mark (875 silver), I am having a tough time locating the city and assay mark. There is no apparent maker's mark. I am also puzzled by what it could be. Seems awfully large to be on a coat, but I could be mistaken.
This piece is about 3.00in (Height) x 2.00in (Width) x 2.00in (Depth). Again, the purity mark is the only obvious mark to me.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
