I pulled out this worn and broken brooch and thought I’d list it even though the pin is gone as a nice piece for steampunk makin jewelry. There is a marking on the back that I haven’t been able to identify on-line. Do any of you fine folks who have knowledge of such things know or recognize this marking?

Sorry for the blurrrrrrrrrrrrrr. That’s a C R. Would you call it art nouveau style. I’m a total style flunkard! LOL
Oh that link is cool. But it’s a mystery even there. At least I learned something. It’s a sash pin. Didn’t know that before.
Well this is a fine howdy do…can’t delete my own question. Thanks for the input and that link. I listed it best I could given the marking mystery.

Yes, art nouveau, which uses curved lines and nature. Art Deco is geometric and straight lines usually seen in 1920s architecture.

I beleive CountryClutter is correct. Early Coro Jewelry around 1900 was marked with CR which stood for Emanuel Cohn and Gerald Rosenberg. (Cohn/Rosenburg) The name Coro came from using the two first letters of each mans name “CO” from Cohn and “RO” from Rosenburg. These men partnered up to create terrific jewelry, both costume and fine sterling pieces beginning around 1900.

Have you thought about taking it to a museum for identification? It might save you a lot of time. Too bad you couldn’t send a photo to Antiques Road Show on PBS.
