Unsigned Coro Enamel Fur Clip with Red Baguettes

The patent number inscribed on the clip mechanism (1852188) of this enamel fur clip is from 1931 and although this clip is unsigned, we believe it may have been produced by Coro Canada. According to Marcia Brown's book "Coro Jewelry", Coro Canada's personnel would create pencil drawings of the new lines after meetings in the U.S. and bring them back to Canada to be produced in their Toronto factory. This is an extremely close rendition of Coro's 1949 patent #156528 and was acquired in Canada. Three red baguettes highlight the center of this shield design with rust enamel throughout. The goldtone, in an 18K shade, is in very good condition with only minor wear. The clear rhinestones are all present and appear original and although slightly cloudy, they provide ample glitter. This is a high quality 2 1/8" x 1 1/2" enamel fur clip.
