Clown Scarecrow Fur or Pin Clip
Item #AP1322118
Measures 1-3/8 x 2". This charming pin clip is plated in bright gold-tone. The head is a cobalt blue bead. Atop the head is a rakish hat with a red enamel hatband. White, blue, green, and fuchsia rhinestones create bright patches of color on the scarecrow's clown suit. The feet and hands are shocks of straw sticking out from the sleeves and pantlegs. Pin clip holds well, but does not snap shut. No wear to gold plating. No missing or dead stones. On page 160 of Warman's Jewelry, 3rd Edition you can see a nearly identical 18K and precious gemstone brooch by LACLOCHE of France. This costume piece was modeled after and inspired by that original, which Warman's Jewelry dates to circa 1940. $140.00 (Includes insured shipping to a U.S.A. address)
