Du BARRY Leaf Pin: History & Information

Question
I also have 2 leaf pins in the original envelopes. The envelopes have the DuBARRY crest and seal on it. I saw that you had the same request for information about the pin back in January of 2005. Do you have any information on this pin?
Thanks!

Answer
Hello Barbara and thank you for your inquiry. DuBarry apparently went out of business or was purchased by another company c. 1960-70. These could have been either for resale or for employee use. I don't have a beginning date for the company, but I imagine it was in the early 1900's. Hope this helps !
