Antique VICTORIAN Mourning PIN Black Glass Older clasp

This is a black glass topped pin that measure about 2 1/4" square. This is a mourning pin as ladies and girls had to wear black clothing and even jewelry for at least a year after the death of a loved on. It has old base metal in now antiqued patina goldtone with ball beaded edges. It has the older c-clasp pin shanks and you can see the shanks extend a bit of the pin another sign it is older. The black glass set is in good shape and despite the photos no white spots. No nicks or chips just a tiny miniscule roughness on one edge. Not seen unless under camera scrutiny. There is a small area where you can see how the mounted the set on the side. As in those times a lot of these were purchased at local jewlerers.. ID=victorianblackglassmourningpin
