The SUNBEAMS has a broach type pin on the back with the W.MARK marked on the back of it. What are or were the Sunbeams & does anybody know about the year vintage ?

The MELBOURNE is a tie bar Lapel Pin, but l know nothing of what it stands for, or the year, can you help please ? Thank you.

This will answer the Sunbeams question

The enamel pin is simply a simplified crest from the Coat of Arms of the City of Melbourne. It would have been a souvenir and could be any date, probably mid to late 20th century. When you asked this question in September last year the photo you showed looked to me more like part of a cuff link.

Thank you for being so kind to reanswer my original question. I had lost your reply, and searched my hard drive, but could not find it. l have saved this onto a USB Stick now. The Melb. one actually goes onto the button opening in a men's jacket or suit, just above the Hankerchief holder.
Thank you siddieswans, much appreciated.

That's fine - you could have searched this Board - top right - that's what I did!
