Country Music Hall of Fame Guitar Brooch

This is a vintage souvenir brooch designed in the shape of an acoustic guitar, specifically representing the Country Music Hall of Fame. The item features a gold-tone metallic frame with decorative textured edging around the body of the guitar. The center of the guitar body is inlaid with a cream-colored, iridescent mother-of-pearl or faux-nacre material, which serves as the background for the black printed text that reads "COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME" in a block-style font. The neck of the guitar is rendered in black enamel or paint, leading to a gold-tone headstock with detailed tuning pegs. A notable feature is the gold-tone decorative safety chain that connects the lower guitar body to the headstock, adding a Victorian-revival aesthetic common in mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry. The construction appears to be cast base metal with gold plating. In terms of condition, there is minor wear visible on the gold-tone finish and light scratching on the pearlescent inlay, consistent with a vintage souvenir produced between the late 1960s and 1980s. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality gift shop memorabilia from that era, prioritizing recognizable branding and novelty design.
