Description

An enamel signal flag brooch in the style of Benzie, modelled as a flagpole with gold 'rope' the eight enamel signal flags spelling out 'Good Luck', unhallmarked yellow metal stamped '15ct', length of the brooch 3.5cm, and weight 3.3g
Other Notes: Benzie of Cowes, known as the yachtsmen's jeweller, is famous for producing jewellery using enamelled signal flags and other nautical flags. Although this piece is unsigned, the quality of this brooch is every bit as good as - and might well be - a Benzie original, and being stamped '15ct' would indicate an era of manufacture between 1854 and 1932.
