Antique Baby Photo in Victorian Frame Brooch Original Box

Green and white "stones" encircle the brass frame. The stones appear to be green and white jade.

Antique Baby Photo in Brooch Late 1800

All of the stones are present but 3 have sustained some damage. The are no longer slightly domed but flattened down. The frame was originally a brooch but the pin has gone missing over the years. The C clasp is still attached, dating this piece to the late 1800's.  The celluloid materials covering the picture has crackled due to age but it is still in place and protects the small photograph.

The small frame is made of brass. It does show tarnish, even small areas of verdigris.  The back of the frame shows considerable patina. It is also marked "?lock pat.pend." The first letters are under tarnish.

Baby Brooch in Original Box

The brooch frame comes in its original box. The top of the box says "Best Wishes" so I am inclined to think the photo is of a living child.
