If you have some time on this wet and windy afternoon (in Sydney anyway).....
I have this item which has been turned into a brooch - but from what? The pin is marked Metal - I am guessing 1880-1920?
It is nicely made, looks like brass. As you can see stamped on the back are the letters THE??ULL & TURN SOLI???RE
The BOLD letters I am sure of; the first two ?? I think is all there is space for; the three ??? is just a guess; I am pretty sure the second last letter is R.
The only thing I could come up with is "The Pull & Turn ....." or perhaps one word "The??ull & Turn" - have Googled with no result. It's of no real value, a seller not a keeper, but I would like to identify it before I pass it on. As you may see in the centre behind the pin are two holes and a ground off metal shank which I assume attached it to something. Many thanks for any thoughts.
