Beautiful Enameled 1890s Brooch - Tip-Top House, Mount Washington, New Hampshire

This is a beautiful enameled Victorian era brooch with an image of the famous Tip-Top House on Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Built as a hotel in 1853, the Tip-Top still stands today, although it is no longer a hotel. It is however the oldest surviving building on the windy summit and is believed to be the oldest mountain-top lodging still around. Made of stone from the mountain itself, the Tip-Top House withstood the Great Fire of 1908.

Circa 1890s.

Approximately 1-1/16" in height and 1-3/8" in width.

Brass with enamel.

Vertical pin with C catch.

None.

This is from a jewelry collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. KEZAR CON-CM-25-11 LHEX12/11 TRFJX13
