Vintage Three Heinz Pickle Brooches, Charm Mid-Century for the pins and 1800's-1910 for the charm. Green plastic whole pickles. Two are pins and one is a charm. The charm is made of gutta percha, an earlier form of plastic, and has Heinz on one side and 57 on the other. They are appx. 1.25" long and 1/3" wide. They have there little pickle bumps too. I never had the charm before in over 25 years of dealing with vintage jewelry. One of the pickles has the embedded c-clasp lock, and the other is embedded but a safety pin and slightly darker green and slightly smaller. The pendant, on researching this was created by H. J. Heinz as part of creative ways to promote his pickled foods and condiments. His most successful promotion was the pickle charm, which debuted at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The charm, which later evolved into a lapel pin, reflected Heinz's belief that consumers were the best promoters. It was common to see people wearing their Heinz souvenirs and giveaways in public. The pendant is this charm. Very good condition. (W117.12815.5 SS16073 J LD 8/24/25).
