Well, what a remarkable find! This English sterling silver hap pin is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1909, so Edwardian in period; the makers mark is rubbed and rather hard to read.
I was uncertain when I purchased this whether this was a bear or a cat; I think it does look like a bear jumping through a hoop.
The piece remains in excellent condition and measures 5 3/4" in length.

These wonderfully handsome crocodile clad hipflasks are usually teamed up with silver plated fittings, this one is married with the scarcer combination of English solid or sterling silver.
Both the removable drinking cup and top are clearly hallmarked with the British hallmark for Sheffield 1901, making this a true Edwardian example.
