    Description

    From a Tucson estate some years ago and remembrance of apparently significant Zionist efforts in mid century times, is this vintage 14K yellow gold brooch for I believe a Hadassah president. What must have been an already old (perhaps heirloom) copper gilt enameled Hadassah emblem and  symbolic gavel are mounted to the solid gold disk, along with three (3) 2.5mm bezel set diamonds. The result - a substantial presentation ornament from the time when Eisenhower (or perhaps Kennedy) was President and gold was . a Troy ounce. There is a clear "14K" to the disk. Weight is very good for the form at about 17.6 total grams on my portable digital scale - most of that the gold. Condition is quite good though certainly not pristine perfect with an aura of time to the surfaces. The diamonds are fine and sparkle as they should. An inscription on the prong held Hadassah medallion was obviously jeweler effaced by rocker engraving before its mounting - toned wear to the copper gilt surfaces and some ancient missing enamel on the right side are further evidence it was already venerable when added here. The gold disk shows fairly unobtrusive mild reverse denting in a couple of spots. The gold pin and locking clasp still work as they should.  A look at the pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition.  Size  is about 1 21/32 in. across the gold disk. As a somewhat imperfect piece of historic American Judaica this may not be everyone's cup of tea - that said and for those who know, it may have great meaning for you.  NOTE: To save time and potential aggravation I have decided to do this as a final sale proposition like the old days - you either want it or you don't. That said, please feel free to ask any questions and act accordingly.
