Adorable 1930 Bakelite Hockey Brooch

NWS 4-1013

~ From the era of the American Depression:   President Hoover was in the White House..... the unemployment rate was at a staggering all time high: 25.2%..... "Black Tuesday" on Wall Street saw the record breaking exchange of 16,410,035 shares of stock being virtually dumped, worthless, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.... Hitler takes the highest position of political power in Germany, and officially declares the beginning of the Third Reich..... Now look at the jewelry that our women were wearing. Nothing and nobody could break the American spirit.

~ Whimsical and happy, the Bakelite hockey sticks are crossed, with a pair of plastic skates suspended from two brass chains; the skates are brown, with golden blades

~ Measures just over 2.25" wide and 2.75" high

~ The pin mechanism is anchored to the back, with the original "C" clasp
