The sterling and green enameled pin probably dates from the 1930s the other three pieces date from the 1930s to the 1960s.
The silver pins are marked 800 and sterling. The other two pins have no marks.
The enamel on the copper pin has chipped in a few places, but could be filled in. The colors should not be too difficult to match. The overall condition of this set is great. There are no other chips to the enamel, no breaks, no dents, no splits, no repairs and no other problems of any kind.
The pins measure 1 5/16 inches, 1 3/4 inches, 2 3/8 inches and 2 1/2
