These are huge. I love them! A fabulous Columbine flower brooch. The bottom part of the flower trembles. The other one is an Anemone. These are both coat lapel brooches, as far as I know.
No makers marks, no nothing. I do know that they most likely came from the states. They belonged to the grandmother of the woman I bought them from, and grandma was a "Roaring 20s" flapper girl in Philadelphia.
Both need minor repairs - I already replaced the three missing crystals in the brooch on the right (last photo). Geri has the glass stones to repair the other brooch. The prongs are all there, so just a matter of fitting the glass into the settings. I also want to see if it's possible to refresh the gilding on the second brooch. :-))))
Thanks to all for coming by for a gander!
