Vintage 1940s "Finest Gilt, British Made" Scottie Dog Bar Brooch

£15.00
Only 1 left in stock

 A wonderfully characterful piece of history, this bar brooch features an adorable Scottish Terrier and dates to the 1940s. It remains on its original, albeit heavily aged, card which proudly states it is “FINEST GILT” and “BRITISH MADE.” The simple, charming design was a popular, patriotic style during the wartime era.

This brooch is sold as a collectible piece with significant signs of its long life. The gilt finish has developed a deep patina, the pin is slightly bent, and the original card is softened and creased. These are not flaws but rather the authentic story of a piece that has survived for over 80 years. Please examine the photos closely.

Key Features:

  • Authentic 1940s vintage brooch.

  • Original “Finest Gilt, British Made” display card.

  • Charming Scottie dog (Scottish Terrier) motif.

  • Classic bar brooch design with a C-clasp.

Specifications:

  • Brand: Unbranded

  • Origin: Great Britain

  • Era: c. 1940s

  • Materials: Gilt base metal

  • Condition:This is an authentic vintage piece with significant signs of age. The original card is heavily creased and discoloured. The gilt finish on the brooch is worn and has a dark patina. The pin is slightly bent but functional. A small spot of verdigris (green oxidation) is present on the clasp. It is sold as shown and priced according to its condition.

Vintage Care Notes

  • Do not attempt to polish or clean, as this will remove the historic patina. Keep dry.

Please Note

Our vintage jewellery has lived a life before yours, and with a little care, it will continue to shine for many years to come. Always put your pieces on last, after perfume, hairspray, and lotions, and take them off first to avoid snags or knocks. Keep them away from water, chemicals, and humidity, and remove before swimming, exercising, or cleaning. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear and avoid any abrasive materials or cleaning products. Never soak or submerge vintage costume jewellery in water. Store each piece separately in a fabric-lined box or pouch, away from sunlight and damp areas, to protect its beauty.

Every Bonita Eloise piece is pre-loved and may show gentle signs of age such as patina, slight wear, or small imperfections that add to its charm and history. We take great care to describe each treasure accurately, though exact dates and makers are sometimes based on research and style rather than definitive proof. Materials are noted honestly, and unless otherwise stated, our pieces are costume jewellery made from base metals, glass stones, or synthetic materials. Vintage sizing may differ from modern standards, so please check measurements before purchasing. All sales are final unless the item is significantly different from the description provided. These treasures are chosen for their beauty and story, to be worn and loved again, and to continue their journey with you.
