Antique Enameled
Little Lamb Brooch
This sweet pin is either Bambi or another fawn in rhodium plated pot metal, beautifully enameled with a pale yellow. He has stamped (see reverse) raised spots in pink, an applied green garland around his neck, and green hooves. How darling he is, as well as fairly high quality. I believe the back is rhodium plated--the poor little deer came to me very dirty, but without tarnish. I gave him a bath, but not a polish. Circa date is probably 1930-1940. The pin predates the Bambi movie and the Disney pins, but the movie was based on a popular illustrated children's book by Viennese author Felix Salton, first published in 1929. The pin is equipped with an old C-clasp and measures 2 1/4" x 1 5/8". Rated Very Good for minor loss of enamel in spots. Enjoy for $58.00 |
