Material is unknown but I do know it is NOT ivory as it lacks Schrager lines.
Back of the brooch finds an early one-piece round hinged, c-clasp pinback which is tacked/nailed into the brooch.
Exact age is unknown, however based on the material and construction of the pinback, it is safe to assess this is likely from the early 1920s when round hinges were first being experimented with.
Measures just under 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" wide.

PLEASE READ: I've been hunting and collecting since I was a wee child (over 50 years for those counting). It's in my blood. I take great pride (and joy) in researching items I find and enquiring of experts the history and authenticity of items prior to selling. There are so many great items out there that might be 100+ years old but still in excellent, usable condition. I see what I do as helping these items find a new, forever home. Between cleaning out old items from around my grandma's house and my own hunting, you never know what you'll find in my store. That's what makes my store so much fun!
Most items I sell will be sold as I found them, I prefer to leave cleaning methods to the purchaser. Keep in mind that all of my items are previously owned, sometimes by many owners over decades of time, and will show signs of wear. I strive to be transparent and will mention any significant defects or wear that I see including close up photos of noticeable wear.
