Big-hat hatpins
Crests
Crest and heraldry hatpins
Mystery crests. We Three Crests.
Apparently, the crest is the part above the shield. See ://www.fleurdelis.com/coatofarms.htm
Sterling on the backs. Rods 7 1/4". Two silver (sterling?) rods, one brass rod.
Shield and crest hatpins, Howard C. Scharfe and Marjorie Scharfe Hatpin Collection,
And a close-up of one. Look at all the symbols there.
We think we identify a Victoria Crown, then seven "elements" or areas on the shield, two on three and two below; and note the colors.
Some of those elements are further subdivided.
We have checked all the Canadian Province crests at http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1SEC887202. Even coats of arms. This is not a coat of arms, however. A coat of arms belongs to an individual, not a family, we find. Wikipedia is no help here. Do not go to ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms
Moving left top toward bottom: a start as we look. Remember, red cross, white ground; set on three stars, green ground.
Trying to do a shortcut and look up images to identify.

Still looking.
