3 piece miniature EKII boutoniere's

[vonStubben]

I know that these are 1914's but I thought that due to the amount of traffic in this section, compared to that of the Imperial section, they may get more exposure.

I had shown the one on the right some time ago in the Imperial section. Last weekend I was able to secure another that has a non silver frame and slightly different buttonhole device. Both measure 11/16" x 11/16" and are of three piece construction and have magnetic cores just like their big brothers.

I look at EK boutoniere's whenever I find them and these are the only two in three piece construction I have ever found. Are there anymore out there?

It would be really nice to find something like this from the TR period.

Regards,

Love those small crosses...

...they are almost like Prinzen Prinzens Never seen any 3 piece before though.

I'd like to update this thread because I looked more closely at my newest miniature today and realized that the frame is indeed silver and not zinc. It was badly tarnished and when cleaned (dipped) it is clear that it's made of silver too.
