    The last one was the Queen Mother's and worn by her in the early years. I do not recall seeing the brooch worn by her or the Queen since this 1940 picture.

    : Since this week we have been treated to some
    : less that often seen brooches, I though that
    : I would delve into my "TBD" (To Be
    : Determined) files to see if any one can
    : provide some insight into a couple of items
    : that may be "less often seen" as
    : well.

    : Here goes. The first picture in from a tour
    : to Nigeria circa 1960. The brooch has a
    : unique shape but it does not spring to mind.
    : There is some glare which does not help but
    : maybe one of you has a thought as to which
    : brooch it may be.

    : The next one is also from the mid to late
    : 50's. The Queen's brooch looks to be a bird
    : with spread wings. I do not think it is a
    : badge, but then again I am not sure. Any
    : thoughts ??

    : Lastly an even more vintage picture of Pns
    : Elizabeth with Pns Margaret. Here the
    : brooch seems to be a knot/scroll - perhaps
    : in diamonds.
