I'm not an expert in these brooches so it's up to you as the buyer to make the decision. It's in fabulous condition. In my research I did find brooches that resembled this one.
I can't speak to the value but the pattern is Strawberry Festival by Mikasa.
The ink stamp on the label suggest that it may have been manufactured in August of 1977, but I'm not certain of that. These "Platemate" clocks come up from time to time on the internet. You just have to catch them. Try setting up an automated Search on eBay and watch the listing to get an idea of current market value. Good luck.
