Japanese Hand Made Wooden Bobble Headed Cat. This looks like a kitty from the old cartoons of the 1930's or 40's to me, but it may have been made after WWII. The cats head wags back and forth with a wide eyed expression on it's carved face, including long carve eyelashes! Painted red, yellow, black and turquoise blue, this is just a sweet little collectible pretty, and conversation piece and a nostalgic reminder of the jewels of old. Stamped Japan in back in black ink, the pin is 3" tall and 1 7/8" wide at the bottom. Very good condition. $32 |

Coro White
Enameled Turtle Pin
Coro made an entire line of white enameled creature jewelry; I've seen a number of them including a seal and some sort of fish, and others. If you like the way white stands out on colored T-shirts and jackets it might be fun to look for the entire line; they appear to have been done in the mid to late 1950's. On this turtle the white paint lies between the gold tone ridges for an elegant yet fun effect. The eye is also gold tone but looks white in the picture. The adorable pin is 2 1/4" wide and signed in back (c)Coro in script. Very Good condition, with no chips in the enamel but mild wear that can be seen only under magnification. $32

Les Bernard
Fabulous Dragon Pendant Another 1960's impressive and dramatic beauty, absolutely exclusive to that era, a multi-ethnic gold tone design, complete with motif of four incredible dragons with whirling tails; ancient coin dangles, and carved faux jade. The pendant is 4 3/4" tall x 2 5/8" wide and hangs on a 20" Singapore style chain. Very Good to Excellent condition. Signed on the back of the pendant on a round raised oval LES BERNARD INC. So many of these fabulous large 1960's pieces came with paper hand tags, and signed pieces are especially hard to find, so better buy while it's still possible! $95 |

Antique Enameled Fawn Brooch
This sweet pin fawn in rhodium plated pot metal and beautifully enameled in pale yellow is too old to be Bambi. With that pink lipstick she is likely a feminine fawn with stamped (see reverse) raised spots in pink, an applied green garland around her neck, and green hooves. How darling she is, as well as fairly high quality. I believe the back is rhodium plated--the little deer came to me very dirty, although untarnished. I gave the poor waif a bath, but not a polish. Circa date is probably 1930-1940. The Bambi movie was made later along with 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 open 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 |
