Antique Brooches

This beautiful pin was given to me in 1970 by a Family member of our neighbour who passed away in her 90's. I wore it for several years and received a lot of compliments when I wore it. Eventually it landed up just sitting in my jewelry box so I sold it.

This brooch was purchased at a closing sale of an Antique barn in Quebec. It most likely was a mourning brooch of the deceased man. It has a lot of crazing on the glass on the top. This has signs of green oxidation which looks like it is copper.

This is a very rare and unique floral detailed brooch. It is possibly brass as there are signs of oxidation on the back. The picture is of a landscape and looks almost 3d when moved.

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like this in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
