Brooch back/pin is not there, it must have broke at some point in time. May 31, 1898 is the date listed on back for the patent. Because of this this specific patent stamp, this brooch was manufactured at the tail-end of the Victorian era or during the Edwardian era, roughly between 1898 and 1910. Some “foxing” (orange/brown spotting) is happening with the photo. This type of age-related degradation occurs over time on paper, cardstock, or within the emulsion layers when trapped under glass and exposed to humidity.
