Recently, our treasure hunter in Prague found these wonderful press-molded glass brooches for us. They are of the Art Deco era and were made in the early to mid-1930s. These pins were on a manufacturer's sample card and are in fantastic condition! We have about a dozen of these one of a kind glass brooches and will continue to get them all listed. Most of them are in the shapes of bows and buckles.

The glass industry in the northern Bohemia region was known for its wonderful beads, buttons and other baubles. That industry came to a halt with the advent of WWII.. Reproductions of the old buttons are starting to surface in the market but I haven't seen repro's of these glass pins. A rare treasure at a great price!
