Vintage Wells Signed 14K Gold Filled Textured Cream Celluloid Flower Brooch Pin  This elegant vintage brooch features a delicate cream celluloid flower with a green Lucite leaf. The setting is 14k gold filled with delicately textured leaves. This piece is medium in size, well matched, delicate and elegant, with three-dimensional engraving, good structural proportions, and beautiful plating quality. Based on the materials and the history of the company, I believe this was made in the 1950s or 1960s.  The history of Wells, Inc., a jewelry company based in Attleboro, Massachusetts, began in 1922, founded by Raymond L. Wells (1904-1977). Initially, the company’s craftsmen made products from sterling silver, as well as gold, natural stones, and enamel. Traditionally, markings, usually on an oval cartouche, include “Wells Ster”, as well as 12K if the item contains gold.
