Otherwise, as Chas says, ebay is a gold mine :

Thank you, Chas, Glen and Robert - much as I do not understand the complexities of Ebay, I think I have just placed bids on three brooches, but seriously doubt if I will get them! I will also take a look at the Miracle website later.

I must have lived a very sheltered life - I have never even heard of 'Miracle' jewellery until today!

Take care,
Ham.

And I was correct. I have received E-mails from Ebay advising me that I was unsuccessful with my bids! Not to be outdone, I have now put in bids on two more which have a day or two to run.

Take care,
Ham.

I agree with your choice there, Robert.

Having now zipped through the Miracle website (how could I NOT have been aware of this years ago?), and not having much faith in my coping with Ebay, I have given them a small order for items that are available from stock and look forward to receiving it. I must admit, however, that I do find the lack of descriptive information against each item on the website somewhat annoying. I'm left with the feeling that I do not really know what I have bought - I will soon find out, I guess!

Take care,
Ham.

Do any of the US based forum sponsors carry real silver blanket pins?

Ham,

I felt the same way, but the good surprise was that much greater when the brooches arrived (quick and free shipping to France !).

I do hope you will be pleased.

I myself am a very satisfied customer of Miracle Jewellery.

Best,

Robert

This has been a very interesting thread. I've loved all the photos that have been shared. Miracle does make some great brooches and kilt pins. I've aquired some throughout my travels. I've got some dirk style kilt pins and thistle, and agate brooches from the 50's and 60's. I wish I could post some pics, but I keep hitting a wall for some reason. I hope to remedy that soon. I hope you like what you get , Hamish.

Thanks to Hamish--and the rest of the guys here, specifically Robert and Glen--I have learned some very new and interesting things. I never heard of Miracle brooches (or otheir other stuff) either.

Looks like I have a new item or two to pursue.

Thanks, fellows.
