Vintage 1940s Gold-Filled Wire Name Brooch — "Lorraine" — Handcrafted Cursive Sc

This is a charming piece of personalized mid-century jewelry featuring the name "Lorraine" expertly handcrafted from a single strand of gold-filled wire. These pins were highly popular souvenirs and gifts from the 1930s through the 1950s, often sold at world's fairs, boardwalks, and department store kiosks. Design & Craftsmanship: Style: The name is rendered in an elegant, flowing cursive script. Construction: Artisan-made using a continuous piece of wire that loops to form the letters, reinforced by a horizontal structural bar on the reverse. Clasp: Features a classic C-clasp (or hook) integrated directly into the wire design, typical of handcrafted wire work from this era. Materials & Condition: Metal: Likely 12k or 14k gold-filled wire (common for this style). Gold-filled jewelry has a much thicker layer of gold than standard plating, making it highly durable and resistant to tarnishing. Dimensions: Approximately 1.75 inches long and 0.5 inches tall. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wire remains bright with a lovely gold luster. The pin is straight and the clasp is secure. (Note: As a vintage item, minor surface wear consistent with age may be present). Why it’s Collectible: Personalized name jewelry is a "hot collectible" right now, appealing to both vintage jewelry enthusiasts and those named Lorraine looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind accessory. It’s a perfect retro addition to a denim jacket, lapel, or hat.
