Antique die set pair of unknown origin to create an ornamental badge or brooch. The large, tapered, negative die is approx. 5 x 3.5 inches at the base and approx 3 inches tall. The smaller positive die is approx. 2.5 x 2 x 3/4 inches. These were use in tandem in a stamping press to emboss the pattern into a thin piece of metal (possibly, brass, silver, or gold) to create a piece of jewelry approx. 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inches in size. The central round of the design is approx 1-1/8 inches in diameter. It is believed to be from the latter half of the nineteenth century. Total weight of the pair is 12 pounds.
