In Victorian times, tie tacks had screws with screw-on clutches. Wonder how many ties were ruined? This one was found without the clutch, so the screw was removed and replaced with a regular tie tack and clutch. A fun old piece! The initial F has never ooked so ornate. Some nice enameling on what looks like a copper base. Check all photos for more information, like size
