Vintage Brooch - Scissors and Thimble (SOLD)
What a super gift for a sewing lady this vintage brooch would be! Here we have a gold tone Spanish Toledo style scissors and thimble brooch. The brooch dates from the end of the 1950's up to the 1960's and would have been a souvenir item from Spain. Toledo work ( inlay on steel ) was originally used to decorate swords. It then was the perfect traditional way to decorate all kinds of jewellery for souvenir and Spanish wear. This gold tone pin has elements of black and white and silver decorating it and it is most effective. The brooch measures 4.5cms by 2.5cms and is in excellent condition. It fastens with a secure roll over type clasp.
