I purchased this several years back as vintage. I do not know the history. This brooch, I believe, is in great vintage condition. There is some wear, I see no missing pieces, I haven't cleaned the piece and the clasp works. I am not an expert on jewelry and have done my best to give correct information. I purchased this as vintage, I do not know the exact date of the piece. I have not cleaned and I have made no repairs, or do I know if any repairs have been made before my purchase. Please see pictures for more details. If you have any questions or would like more details, please do not hesitate to ask. All measurements are approximate. Non smoking home. We do have a dog. I will drop off for shipping next day, Monday through Saturday. If you purchase on Saturday or Sunday, I will ship on Monday (If the post office is closed for a holiday, I will ship the following day). Thank you for looking!
