Solje pin that may have belonged to Gjertrude. It was found among her grandson Albert Peterson's belongings. The distinctly Norwegian solje pin is worn in particular at one's wedding & other important events. The writer speculates that Gjertrude may have given this pin to her son Louis as a memento when Louis embarked for America. Its center stone is missing.
