Godley Schwan SIGNED Memphis Brooch. 1984 Chicago. Huge 4" Long Vintage Pin.Playful Red, Green, Blue, Yellow & Black. Important Designers.
Measures about 4" long by 2" wide.
Materials Used: Wood, Plastic and Rubber, see photos.
Condition: No noted issues, other than expected storage wear.
Age: Research states that the company was located in Chicago for only one year, 1984, before moving to NYC. The label states "GODLEY SCHWAN CHICAGO", so I feel safe in attributing this pin as being a very early piece of their work.
Note: We have another similar pin, also signed, listed separately in our Etsy Shop.
