A lot of 20 mid-century vintage pins (or really 19 pins and a dress clip). Gold and silver tone metal, most have glass rhinestones (stars, a green thistle, a red one like a chili pepper), but the big confetti sparkles cabochon is some kind of acrylic, 60s era. A twisted celluloid flower is 1930s, the rest 40s to early 60s. I saw 3 with marks, a Capri brushed goldtone basketweave flower, a holly berry branch from Dodds, and one with the Coro Pegasus mark for Corocraft that needs major help for lost stones.
I hope the ruler across the top of image 1 is visible, the smallest is about 1" diameter (the little white rhinestone star), the larger ones 2" to a bit over 3".
Most are floral or geometric (the big white RS star is nice, rhodium plated back), but there is a horse and carousel one and an odd faux Navajo squash blossom pin, silvertone metal with glass for turquoise stones.
All are functional, pin parts work, but a few I saw had woes of some kind, mainly that big Coro apple in blue shades, that's very rough, many stones out, but made well, maybe useful as a donor to another. A goldtone fan type is missing some turquoise balls, also an oval one with little shapes that look like bones or dog biscuits is missing some 2mm pink stones, I think. See enlarged photos.
I tried to get the backs of ones with marks, I think the holly berry one says Dodds but hard to tell.
See photos, front and back, 20 pieces, as found.
We're happy to answer any questions -- and if you are into making jewelry, see our other listings. A lot of interesting vintage jewelry stuff is coming, from my mom's 50-year stash (we say hoard, she says stash, but who's judging). Whenever possible we'll always combine shipping, but I think you may have to request an invoice these days, just let us know.
