This oval Victorian brooch is made of 10K yellow gold, black enamel, and pearls and is a beautiful and pristine example of turn of the century mourning jewelry.
Its true appeal, however, is that just under the pin mechanism on the back, the name "M.E. Flanagin" is engraved. We did some digging and one name came up. Martha E. Flanagin, who died in 1904, was the widow of the first post-Civil War governor of Arkansas, Harris Flanagin.
While there's no way to guarantee that this brooch belonged to, or was dedicated to the memory of, Mrs. Flanagin, both the time period and the name perfectly match up.
We've included a photograph of her obituary from the Fort Smith Times of Fort Smith, Arkansas, dated April 25, 1904.
