    Description

    This is a collection of four various nursing and related pins. Three of these pins are made of sterling silver and the other is gold filled. This lot includes:
    A named sterling silver antique fever nurse pin from 1914 from the Local Government Board for Scotland. From what I've seen, the local government board was the body within the country that was in charge of overseeing the public health from 1894 to 1919, when it was replaced by the Scottish Board of Health. It is named and dated on the back, with the following: "Nurse Ellen A. Farquhar Fever Training 1914". The back indicates that it was made in 1913 by the Birmingham maker Brook and Son. It measures 1 1/4 inches in diameter and is in excellent condition.
    A named and numbered Australian Physiotherapy Association sterling silver pin. The front of the pin has great detailing with white and black enamel. The back is numbered 763 and is engraved with the name "Birgitta Sorlie" and is hallmarked "Stokes Stg. Sil.".
    This is an uncommon vintage sterling silver Massachusetts Association for Occupational Therapy brooch. The back of the pin is hallmarked "

    Sterling

    " and is in great condition.
    A gold filled 25 year pin from the Passavant Memorial Hospital based in Jacksonville Illinois. The front of this says “25 Years Passavant Memorial Hospital” and the back is hallmarked “1/10 10K GF”.
