Vintage Signed 11 W. 30th Street Rhinestone Cat Face Pin|Amazing
Adornments.com Signed Vintage Costume Jewelry|Brooches and Pins
SOLD I know I do not run into
many pieces with this hallmark. In the books Collecting Costume Jewelry 101
and 303 both by Julia Carroll she states that the jewelry appears to be from
around the 1960s and that it is possible that this company like others had craft
kits sold to anyone to create jewelry. Most
of the home crafted pieces probably did not have hallmarks. I am not sure. Some
of the jewelry does have hallmarks like this sweet cat pin. It is widely thought
that the pieces with the hallmarks were produced by or for the companies
offering the kits, however I cannot say this with certainty.
This pin has weight and the metal is
textured. It has a matte finish. Love those whiskers! Amber pear shaped stones
are set as ears and small navettes in pale amber AB are set as eyes. The cat's
nose is an aurora borealis chaton. The hallmark appears on the reverse.
Condition:
Excellent vintage.
Hints of old yellowing glue can be seen with a
loupe around some of the stones. This is not noticeable unless you magnify the
brooch. There is also some light plating wear that you also cannot see without a
loupe. These conditions are the type that one would expect from old used
jewelry.
Measurements:
1 1/4" long and 1 1/16" wide.
