A Collection of Vintage Brooches and Pins, Including Scottish and Maritime Interest - This lot comprises a collection of vintage brooches, badges, and accessories, primarily of mid-20th-century British interest. The collection includes a boxed pair of Regnum chromium-plated cufflinks, the rectangular faces featuring geometric engine-turned patterns. The original yellow presentation box is marked REGNUM, CHROMIUM, and MADE IN ENGLAND. There is a gilt-metal and enamel naval badge for HMS Newfoundland, with the ship name on a blue scroll above a white disc featuring a bird crest motif. A circular Labour Party enamel badge is included, featuring a white border inscribed LABOUR PARTY and a red centre with a torch, quill, and shovel design and the text LIBERTY. A traditional Scottish grouse foot brooch is present, featuring white plumage and a silver-toned claw mount set with a large, faceted amber-coloured paste stone. The collection also contains an oval clan crest brooch depicting a stag trippant within a buckled strap border inscribed with the motto Amo, associated with Clan Scott. Further items include a silver-toned safety-pin style bar brooch with a central blue and white enamel monogram W, a gold-toned circular wreath brooch set with alternating round blue faceted paste stones and white faux pearls, and two painted celluloid bird brooches, one depicting a gull and the other a small duck.
