Purchasing information-
Overall fair to good condition. Pin can be removed and clasp folded down, has central screw hole so can be used as a hair accessory, there is no hair accessory attachment with it. There are moderate surface scratches and tarnishing throughout from general wear. There is a noticeable replacement paste near the centre of the brooch, it is more yellow than the others. Four other pastes look to be replacements as they show adhesive around them and/or don't fit right. There is minor abrasion to some of the pastes. The brooch would benefit from a clean. Pin and hinges are in good working order.
