Rare Walter Lampl 1940 Chinese Maid and Man Pin or Fur Clips

Item #BB13311

Maid measures 5/8 x 2". Man measures 1 x 2", including flower in outstretched hand. These stunning pin or fur clips are marked PATENT PEND. and match perfectly the 1940 Walter Lampl design patents 120446 and 120462, both of which can be seen on our design patent web page. The woman's dress is enameled in yellow, with black trim, and is accented with brilliant white rhinestones. Her skin is enameled tan, her hair black, and the flower in her hair is red enamel. The man is wearing a black enamel jacket trimmed in white rhinestones, and rhinestone pantaloons. His skin is enameled tan and he has a black enamel headband. In his left hand is a pink enamel flower with a red rhinestone center and green enamel stem. These pieces are plated in gold-tone. No missing or dead stones. The enamel is almost entirely intact, with only a few tiny spots of loss (the tips of their noses, one cuff of the man's pants, a couple of tiny flea-bites on his left sleeve). Pin clip backs hold well. No wear to plating. $890.00 (Includes insured shipping to a U.S.A. address)
