Two gold nugget design, men's stick pins. Nuggets look like stereotypical California 1849 Gold Rush nuggets straight from the Mother Lode. Both pins are gold-filled, as even the highest quality pins of the day were, since solid gold was not strong enough to be used as a pin without bending. (Iron was typical used for base pin medal) These two pins are iconic symbols of a glorious period of American history. Pins such as these were worn by prominent business men with interests in gold mining, such as investors, mine owners, assayers and bankers. Highly collectible pieces.
