This beautiful old brooch I found in my travels. Here is a little history on the F&B silver company according to the fine folks of 925-1000.com:

Foster & Bailey
Providence, RI
1878-1898
Successors to White & Foster, manufacturers of small sterling, gold & silver plate novelties and jewelry. Succeeded by Theodore W. Foster & Bros. who continued the use of this mark.

That would make this brooch over 115 years old. And, with the exception for the discolored rhinestones, this piece is gorgeous! It measures 2.5" long and 7/16" wide and weighs 5.1 grams.
