flower brooch with sparkling rhinestones is a Little Nemo piece marked LN/25 on the back - I believe from my researching this mark that is the mark for Nemo Gold Seal Quality, a very early mark.
The company was founded by Benjamin Brier, Charles Brier & Samuel Magid in 1913. the company went out of business under this mark in 1978. the pieces were marked. LN, LN/25, LN/50 L/N and LN in a diamond. Some of the Little Nemo jewelry is geometric Deco in style while other designs are curvy and antique looking. Little Nemo made several patriotic pieces. Pot metal was used as well as antiqued gold and silver- tone settings. Many pieces can be seen with brightly colored rhinestones and in interesting shapes.
Lovely colorful flower brooch & enjoyed the history about Little Nemo, a rare find indeed. Lori I so appreciate the variety of designers in your collection I strive for that myself, there are so many great vintage companies to explore
This is so cool and unusual, I would so wear it!
Great piece RichmondLori.
