Nice one.

thanks guys ...i wonder did this maker produce party pins with silver wash ..??

[Wim Vangossum]

Nice original. IMO not all party pins were silvered. If so why are some examples very good worn and still have bright 'silver' colours? I think many of them actually received a nickle finish.

so Theo its safe to say that my example pictured never had a silver finnish and is in its almost original state ?

hard to say because of the light on the picture.

Considering colours in general:

Yellowish = Brass base metall
Reddisch-brown = Tombak base metall
Black and dark = patinated silvering
glossy grey = nickle finish ?
glossy grey = still protected original silver finish?
Coarsy and dull grey = zinc base metall
Rainbow colour shades = probably from a bit too much heat when soldering?
