Vintage 1960s HOPE CHEST Leaf Signed Foliate Gold Tone Brooch

This is a vintage 1960s Hope Chest gold-tone leaf brooch. This brooch‘s detail brings the piece to life and resembles a leaf — an excellent pin for the Fall season.

Hope Chest was founded by Wayne Fields, who sold jewelry and flatware through house parties. The company was initially named China Club and operated from 1950 - 1963.

The brooch is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear on the metal. The clasp is fully functional and secures well. The back of the pin is stamped HOPE CHEST, and the metal was tested.

The brooch measures 1 -1/4" wide and 1-5/8" tall; it weighs 16.06 grams. The box is for display only.
