VIntage brooch 1897 Louisiana Rag music brooch assemblage charm watch fob brooch with miniature glass cased music

One of a kind, and for the musically inclined, this unusual brooch just reminds me the foot tapping miniature sheet music inside called the Louisiana Rag. Originally published in 1897, this tiny piece is an exact replica of the original front cover. The large black enamel  Chinese knot top is heavy cast metal from the 30-40's and it holds a glass case that has the teeniest sheet music inside. From that hangs a gold over brass leaf charm and a fleur de lis that dingles when you walk. The width of this large brooch is 3 1/2" and the length is 5 1/2". A total conversation piece that looks like an old victorian watch fob.  How neat is that? VIntage parts come together once again.    VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our Etsy pieces regardless of which site it comes from.
