James Henry Gannon
James Henry Gannon was the European Director of the Chase National Bank who helped negotiate a loan for the Soviet government in 1929. A photograph, dated July 1929, shows Mr. Gannon seated (fourth from the right) among speakers and trustees at a Chamber of Commerce dinner in Moscow. An article in The New York Times, dated August 18, 1929, quotes Mr. Gannon and discusses the loan in more detail.
The brooch was inherited by the Gannons’ daughter-in-law, Helen Gannon. Helen was married to James Kimball "Kim" Gannon (1900-1974), a successful songwriter and lyricist who wrote many songs for Broadway and film, most notably "I'll be Home for Christmas,” "Johnny Appleseed,” and "I Want to Be Wanted.” Helen recalled that the brooch was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Gannon during their visit to Moscow in 1929.
