Brand New Coro Brooch - never worn / Vintage 1950s Coro Brooch with Original Tags

For all you Vintage Jewelry Collectors out there, I have a special treat!

This Coro brooch still has the original purchase tag still attached! This type of tag is the foil attached tag which was common in the 50s - the brooch itself is not marked but it has never been worn.

Coro jewelry or Cohn & Rosenberger, was founded in New York by Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger in 1901 - 1902 and incorporated in 1913. A factory was established in Providence, Rhode Island in 1911. With offices or plants in New York and Providence, at times they had a presence in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Toronto, England and Mexico as well. Great Britain mechanical patents have been found in the name of Corocraft from 1961 until 1969, which documents actual production in England.

Cohn died in 1910, but the name remained Cohn & Rosenberger. The corporate name “Coro” was adopted in 1943. Rosenberger died in 1957, and his son Gerald, who succeeded him, died in 1967. In 1969, the family sold 51 percent of the Coro stock to Richton, Intl. Corp., who bought the remaining stock in 1970. Richton also owned the Oscar de la Renta brand. By 1979 all the Coro companies, except the Canadian company, were bankrupt. It was sold to a South American company in 1992.

This brooch is just so pretty and will look wonderful on a sweater or on a coat.

The brooch has a wonderful bold look and the brooch because it is new with tags is not scratched and in excellent condition. 

The clasp is secure and firm.
