Haskell--Unsigned Clips and Pins
There is a fascinating variety of unsigned clips and pins created by Haskell from the late 1920s through post-WWII, and this album provides a detailed sampling of a number of examples.  By spending time with these pieces, you will be able to identify these unsigned gems.  Consult the album on clip and pin backs to round out your education.

Hi Cathy Thank you for all of this wonderful information. Some information has made me think that a brooch I have might be an unsigned Haskell from the 1920s-30s. I have posted a thread on the JGB on ebay. Could you please have a look and see what you think and if my understanding of the construction is correct. Thanks rena

NOT A HASKELL.  Certainly looks like one, particularly the leaves, but look at the next picture showing the back.

NOT A HASKELL. Back of the pin.  Haskell did not use this style of pin finding.  Also, the twisted wires for the beads and leaves are not a Haskell construction technique.  Also, the wiring across the pin finding is very messy, not something that Frank Hess would have allowed out of the shop.

Haskell from the 1930s.  Note pin back--this is correct.  Wire is thick and structural and very neatly wrapped.

Unsigned Haskell.  Again, note the pin back and the structural wire.  This is from the late 1930s into the early 1940s.

NOT HASKELL PINS.  The one on the left really had me believing, but both are not Haskell.  Pins with this type of fabric wrapping are from somewhere else....

Again, note the pin styles, different from the two Haskell pieces shown in prior pictures.  Based on the trombone clasp, I believe the red/white/blue pin is French.  Haskell bought many, many of her findings from France.
