Brunialti has highlighted this 1940 pot metal with enamel and rhinestones pin in his "A Tribute to America" book on Page 214-215. As per his description, our brooch is signed with the S in a Star (the "S" is worn away but the Star is clear). It also has "Made in USA". All stones are present but some are replacements. As there is a fair amount of enamel loss, we have discounted our price accordingly and made this a final sale. This vintage brooch is 3 1/8" (8 cm) x 1 5/8" (4.3 cm).

After researching British patents, we found the patent number on this clip was issued in 1934. As designers were not signing most of their pieces back then, we are unsure of who manufactured this exquisite piece. Coro opened their Canadian facilities in the late 30's and since this was from a Canadian estate, it quite possibly could be theirs. Considering it is about 70 years old, and has remained in very good condition ever since, this 2 1/8" x 1 3/8" vintage duette definitely screams design... Click for details
