    Gillian,
    You asked to see the backs of Grandma's brooches. Here you go! As you can see, these all "unsigned" pieces. Sure is nice to have those old brochures.

      Broochman, please don't be upset with me and I know what you meant... but isn't it Cookie Lee??? And weren't all those pieces signed? There is a Judy something tho that was sold like that as well, but I don't know about that. And I didn't realize Sarah Coventry was a home party deal?! That's cool facts. I still think they are right up there with the other good names that were not home party sales!

      Those are Park Lane. Gillian asked to see the backs of the brooches I posted earlier. Quite a few of them are unsigned. They are "Sorrento", "Emerald Ice" "Aqua Fleur" and "Breath of Spring"

      You seem to have removed the front of the brooches that were posted before? "Those are Park Lane." you say. I haven't seen a Park Lane brooch yet that uses rivets in their construction, and I've gone back to the 50's and the 70's. I've also never seen a Park Lane brooch with our their signature, on the back, in a lozenge shape.

      My original post seems to have been taken down, along with a few(?) others.

      Gillian, I put the backs in a separate post. The original post is still up as far as I know.

      Okay - thanks very much. Enjoyed seeing the pages of the brochures.

      I have original sales brochures from Park Lane. All four of those styles are definitely shown in those brochures. That's where I found the style names. And, even though the brochures only show a photo of the front of the brooches, you can see that the construction is completely different than the cast, enameled brooches they sold back then.
