Antique Sterling MIZPAH Sweetheart Brooch - 1891 Birmingham Date

We need to let you know both the hinge and catch have been replaced with new ones. In 1991 they would have been a c-clasp and tube hinge.

From Wikipedia - Mizpah is a Hebrew word meaning "watchtower" or "lookout". It originates from the Bible (Genesis 31:49), where it describes an emotional and spiritual bond of protection and remembrance between people separated by distance or death: "The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another."

This would be the date letter from Birmingham Assay -
