Har CFW vintage 1950s gold tone leprechaun faux seed pearls rhinestone brooch

Excellent vintage condition, shows only hints of wear. This very ahead-of-its-time brooch dates to the 1950s and features a figural with blue faceted glass rhinestones for eyes, seated on a pearl embellished leaf. Rear is signed CFW. Pieces with this signature are often mistakenly attributed to an English jewelry designer but the snippet below, copied from online, explains why they are in fact a creation of the better known HAR: Although there is no record of either the CFW company’s registration or the CFW trademark, yet, it was a line of jewelry by the American company Hargo, known as HAR. There are at least three reasons. First, the identical designs of many enameled figural pins marked CFW and HAR. Secondly, the time of making jewelry marked CFW and HAR is 1950-60s. Thirdly, the same style and font of marking – capital block letters with a copyright sign. Clasp functions perfectly. Please see photos for measurements in inches.
