<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sandra, post: 1769261, member: 3335&quot;]Hi Billy!</p><p>The brooch is pretty typical of those produced in the 1940s, but I have no idea who may have made it.</p><p>I would make an effort to replace the pin, the corrosion is so severe that I don&#039;t think it could be restored enough to be usable and also the &quot;pointy end&quot; seems to be broken off.&nbsp; If you could find another brooch with the same or close length pin assembly on a junk table, you may be able to salvage the mechanism.&nbsp; It would require soldering the &quot;new&quot; pin and hinge to this one, or if you are not up to soldering, you may be able to revive the hinge on this one with a brass bristle brush, open the hinge and install a new pin.</p><p>Good Luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
