Vintage Pin Brooch 1/80 18K RGP, 3 Curled Leaves, Germany Pre WWII
Wonderful antique or vintage jewelry find out of a home. This is an old pin or brooch consisting of 3 curled leaves with lengthwise line décor, all attached at one end, with a standard pin-back closure across the back side. While an open-formed shape, the pin is roughly 1 3/4 inches greatest width x 1 7/8 inches greatest height. This pin weighs about 7.1 grams.
This vintage brooch is marked on the backside with "Germany" and "1/80/18kt. RGP" for 1/80 18K Rolled Gold Plate, and has the expected bright, shiny, golden coloring which reflects the light. Based on some internet research, we believe this marking dates the pin to the pre WW II or pre World War 2 period, possibly the 1920s or 1930s. There is no manufacturer marking, so we can't tell you who made this.
We've provided 8 images to show from differing angles in different lighting. The one image shot without the camera lighting provides the closest coloring to what you will see in person (image #5), although this may be a bit lighter than in person, but it is closer than the images taken with the camera light which tend to darken the coloring. Please note that the camera light also creates white "hot spots" on the highly reflective surface. The markings on the back side were hard to photograph, so we've provided two images to try and show them, but we guarantee this is what is impressed into the metal. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Excellent vintage condition, with no breaks, cracks, major chips. As expected for an old piece, there is evidence of use/wear/age/storage wear, with some scratches, surface lines, rubbed spots, general wear, etc., which you can see when looking very close-up, but nothing that will be noticed when worn and nothing which detracts from the great look. The pin back clasp turns easily and works well.
