Though the mark is partially worn, I believe this Arts & Crafts Movement stickpin was made by George W. Frost of Dayton, Ohio, during the first part of the 20th century. What can be seen on back is the R and S in proper position with this side of the triangle paritially visible. It is possible that the stem was resoldered at some point - not sure - but this could account for part of the difficulty in seeing the whole mark. I have searched websites and my reference books and I believe 100% I am correct about this attribution. The person who owned the pin before me probably cleaned it because the bronze it a bit shiny on front and you can see remnants of the patina in the background but it's only mildly green at this point. It's an abstract design so I'm not sure if the part at top that kind of blends is on purpose or due to wear. The pin stem is about 2 1/2 inches long and a different type/color of metal while the bronze part measures about 3/4 x 5/8 inch. Pin stem has a couple of bends toward the top but I don't think this is an issue. I have another Arts & Crafts pin listed this week and would be glad to combine shipping.
