W. GERMANY BROOCH Fruit Cluster
This colorful Bakelite era pin is comprised of wooden beads surrounded by a circle of Limes, Oranges, Bananas, Cherries, Light Green Pears, Yellow Pears, Plums and Green Leaves.
The back is gold tone metal and is marked W. Germany.
Lovely piece! I am just a bit confused: Is it marked Germany or W. Germany? I cannot read the mark. If it is marked W (est) Germany, it must be from around 1949 to around 1990. Basted on the style, I would say closer to 1949 than the later date. It does remind me a bit of Carmen Miranda:)
Correction: based not basted. It's late:)
Thank you AirFresh for you comment, it does look real, the seller listed it as plastic fruit. What a wonderful surprise to find this in the box.
freiheit - the mark is a circle and it appears to have the W(est) after : GERMANY W.
I will try to get a better image and post for you to review - you might read it different. thanks for the interest. Lori

Mary, I agree this is in the wrong category - however CW changed my original posting - I will reassign it. Thanks Lori
I did try to switch it from fine jewelry ! I did. Lori
Mary, I did edit this piece and it still shows fine jewelry.
