Not sure what these are?

By sdev, 15 October, 2012
Description

We found these in my Grandmother's house, she recently passed and we do not know what they are.  They seem like they are a pin of some kind...The both have 2 prongs that come out of a button shaped top.  The one top says Biltmore on it and the other one is a floral design.

Re: Not sure what these are?

they are  souvener  hatpins.   The Biltmore Hotel was  New York City landmark, built in 1913.   They do have some value and would sell for about $25 each
