<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9571958, member: 5398"]Thank you so much Lucille and Mirana for answering my question so quickly. After reading through the two links you provided, Mirana, I'm sure the pin is Kollmar & Jourdan--the logo on their building looks the same. I found a few examples of their brooches online--a similar leaf pin had a closeup photo of the marks which were the same as on mine. Examples of their early jewelry and watch chains are beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was sad to read that the company (founded in 1885 and one of the largest jewelry companies in Germany) was forced into bankruptcy in 1978 because of bankruptcy regulations that were later deemed not applicable to their situation after the company had already been dissolved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
