I think this brooch is probably from the WWII years in the early 1940s. The metal is silver colored- not Sterling, but likely pot metal.

The figures are 2" high and the chatelaine chain i 5". They are in good condition for the age in which they were made and adorable when worn. They are nor marked.

First of all, the set is big - the larger of the figured pieces are 2" x 1 3/4". The...
