Hello-
Would anyone happen to know an approximate year or maker on this pendant? It was from the estate of an 1800s Ohio farmhouse.
Not sure if it is brass, bronze, or gold but there are little jewels on it. The height is approx 1.5 inches. Thanks! pendant.jpg

I think it's corroded brass. You'll never be able to clean it, as it's too far gone.
The gems are probably glass and marcasite.
Something is missing in the open circle, maybe a pearl.
Age could be anywhere from 1850-1900.
I'd leave it as found, don't try to clean it.
It's a nice antique!

Thank you! That's earlier than I thought. Yes it does look brass very heavy also.
Will leave it as found and just put it in a display case. Too bad the pearl is missing but for the age
its still not bad piece. Thanks again!
