I know I've seen this brooch before but search terms aren't leading me anywhere. Anyone recognize this pretty brooch? And what the flower may be made out of?
Thank you!

I did check the pin stem and there are no markings.
EDIT: Since the flower is carved ivory, am I not allowed to sell it on eBay?

Also Winard - most of the "bridge" companies made them. The kinds of things you gave nieces, granddaughters etc. for first communion, confirmation, graduation etc.

Thank you! I'll start researchin with that info.
EDIT TO ADD: I did search those makers but did not find an exact match. I studied the pin everywhere possible and cannot find a mark so I will just list it as an unsigned beauty.
I also studied the flower carefully and while I'm no expert, I'm 99% it's not ivory, but plastic or celluloid. Now that's a bit more difficult for me to figure out, but I'll get googling and see what I can find.
Thank you all for your help 😄
