Description: Monet "Nutcracker" Toy Soldier Brooch - If your taste runs to a little out of the ordinary for Christmas pins, try this - a real conversation starter! Done with red and clear baguettes and red square rhinestones, along with clear, red, and pink round rhinestones, red guilloche enamel and black opaque enamel, all in goldtone, this piece measures 2 1/8" x 3/4" at widest point. I didn't realize that there were sticky fingerprints on the piece until after I saw the photos, they have been removed, and plating on the back is fine, with just a little discoloration by the signature. Excellent condition, fun piece. Item: SP13-1351 Price: $26.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Mylu Christmas Tree Earrings - Somewhat 3 dimensional clip earrings from a company that specialized in Christmas jewelry. All goldtone, with paste set emerald green and siam red rhinestones, and tiny siam rhinestones centering the star. Slightly under 1 1/4" x 1". Pristine condition. Item: SE13-1342 Price: $22.50 US |

Description: ART Christmas Wreath with Enamel and Rhinestones - On the ART page you can see two others of this design, one non-enameled, and one like this, except that this seems to have more white enamel "snow" than the other two. Excellent condition, all stones original. The tiny amount of enamel loss that you can see in this greatly magnified photo is almost unseen in person. The topaz rhinestones are all "golden" in person and not brown. A classic. Item: SP14-1309 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: ART Christmas Angel with Enamel, Beads and Rhinestones - Angel pins seem much less common than Christmas tree pins, and this is one of the nicer vintage angel pin designs. This actually seems to have been done in three versions - this one, an identical one that uses red rhinestones instead of the cherry red beads, and one with the same body but different wings that have no rhinestones. This is my favorite of the three, with green and white enameling, the cherry red beads for holly berries, and blue enamel rhinestone buttons and clear rhinestones on the wings. The two innermost clear rhinestones have darkened somewhat with time, but the rest of the piece is in excellent condition. Body is curved, about 2 1/8" x 1 1/4". Item: SP14-1310 Price: $20.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Eisenberg Frosted Christmas Tree Brooch Pin - For many tree collectors, this is a sought-after, must have. Goldtone setting, with clear rhinestones on the star and on the body of the tree. Frosted clear glass with a foiled back and open-back setting, marked EISENBERG with copyright symbol along bottom right frame edge. Some foil loss as seen in second picture, however it does not affect the appearance from the front (and I have never seen any of these pieces without at least this amount of foil loss.) Slight chip at bottom corner on each side, pictured is the larger of the two; this is also not noticeable from the front but priced accordingly. 2 1/4" x 1 5/8". Item: SP13-1264 Price: $95.00 US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: BeeGee Christmas Tree Pin in Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green Stones - BeeGee McBride discontinued selling her handmade "collage" style trees a number of years ago (I would date this to the early 2000's) and as they weren't sold in huge numbers they are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Flatbacked oval stones are accented with small glass pearls, blue and blue AB rhinestones, and blue and green rhinestone chain. Applied to a goldtone frame and signed "beegee" in script, this is slightly over 3" x 2", excellent condition, with the green melon glass stone at the top a replacement. Ms. McBridge is a former art instructor from Texas, whose work is shown in Nancy Trowbridge's Christmas tree book. Item: SP13-1279 Price: $35.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Eisenberg Multi Jeweltone Rhinestone Christmas Tree Brooch - One of the better known Eisenberg trees, this was produced both earlier and later, with the later ones marked Eisenberg Ice. This one is one of the earlier ones, marked simply EISENBERG ©. Typical pyramid design with each colored stone at the center of a diamond shaped opening with clear stones at the top and hobnailed castings at the bottom. Goldtone, excellent condition, about 2 1/8" x 1 3/8". Shown in most of the Christmas tree books. Item: SP13-1278 Price: $45.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Hollycraft Multi Pastel Christmas Tree Pin - Hollycraft pieces in multi-pastel are always eye candy; to find a tree brooch that uses that combination is truly a treat! Shown in at least two Christmas tree collector books in other color combinations. 2 1/4" x 1 3/8", goldtone, and done in the usual mix of colors and stone shapes. This will go with most of your holiday clothing! Excellent condition. Item: SP9-1223 Price: $79.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Hollycraft Candle Tree Earrings - Done in a light goldtone, these clip earrings feature a very tall baguette candle topped with a light siam flame, flanked with emerald and topaz glass flatbacks and topped with an aurora borealis set rhinestone star. 1 1/4" x 7/8". Excellent condition. These don't come along very frequently. Item: SE10-1224 Price: $49.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: JJ Christmas Tree Pin in Goldtone/Clear Rhinestones - Jonette Jewelry is always worth buying. This tree is shown in Mary Morrison's book on Christmas jewelry on p. 47. Goldtone, with rhinestone set swags, about 2 1/8" x 2" at widest point, and slightly curved. Excellent condition, with just a slight bit of plating loss at the upper right hand corner. Item: SP12-1096 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: ART Christmas Wreath Brooch - I believe this is the goldtone, rather than olive green enamel, version of SP12-462. Red enamel bow with tiny spots of white enamel throughout the rest of the piece for snow, and dotted with hyacinth, topaz, sapphire blue and emerald green rhinestone "decorations". About 1 3/4" in diameter. Excellent condition. Item: SP12-968 Price: $29.50US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Wendy Gell Huge Pastel Christmas Tree Brooch - This piece was custom made color-wise for me by Wendy when she was making trees; she usually did this design in multi jeweltones, so I think the pastel combination is pretty rare. Marked Wendy Gell 2000, this isn't really old enough to be vintage but I have included it here as it seemed the closest category. Done in a variety of colors and cuts-cabochons, rose-cut and traditional cuts, and surrounded by pink rhinestone chain and dozens of various sized/shaped/colored faux pearls. At over 4" x 3 1/4", this is a substantial and quite heavy piece. The silvered bugle beads used on the base have yellowed with time, and the pink rivoli and the yellow "star" on top both are slightly chipped, so I can only give this a very good condition rating. Priced at about what I paid for it in 2000. To my knowledge Wendy no longer does any jewelry. Item: SP3-920 Price: $125.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Brooks "Harp" Christmas Tree Pin - While we have had Brooks trees in the past, they have been with colored stones - here is one with clear rhinestones. Goldtone, 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" at widest points. Clear stones are all prong set, and have greyed slightly , but uniformly, almost giving the effect of black diamond stones. Still plenty of sparkle left! Otherwise excellent original condition. Item: SP2-904 Price: $25.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

|
Description: ART Christmas Boot Brooch - As much as I like Christmas tree pins, I think some of the non-tree pieces have a lot of personality and charm, and this piece certainly fills that description. Goldtone boot has black, orange, light blue, red and green enameling and small white glass pearls, with leaves and gifts spilling out of the top of the boot. About 1 5/8" x 1 1/4". Other than a small factory bubble in the enameling on the orange package it is in like new condition. Item: SP5-846 Price: $34.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

|
Description: Weiss Red, Green and Clear Christmas Tree Pin - This piece is shown in Mary Morrison's Christmas Tree book on p. 88, and even though she thinks this design might be a repro, she has it valued in the $85-135 range! I have priced this MUCH less, partly because it has a solder repair at the upper end of the clasp, and a few clears in the vicinity of the repair aren't as sparkly as the others (see closeup photo.) Not noticeable unless you are looking for it. The tree measures about 2 3/4" x 2", set in silvertone. Item: SP10-805 Price: $45.00 US Sorry, SOLD!  |
  |
•••
  |
Description: Brooks Harp Tree (no candles) - Another "harp" style tree, this time without the clear baguette candles. Shown in both the Trowbridge and Morrison Christmas tree books, this is 2 1/4" x 1 5/8" and has 14 prong set stones in various jeweltone shades. Excellent condition. Item: SP8-717 Price: $37.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
  |
Description: Mylu Christmas Tree Pin with Dangling Olivine AB Crystals - Shown in both the Trowbridge and the Morrison Christmas pin books, but with red crystals, the green is apparently a little harder to find. 2 1/4" x 1 7/8", goldtone setting, this is in excellent original condition. Mylu was started by Lynne Gordon and Marge Borofsky in the 1960's. Item: SP12-718 Price: $45.00US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
  |
Description: Pakula Candle Tree Pin - This piece is shown in this colorization in Mary Morrison's book, and in two other colorizations in Nancy Trowbridge's book. 2 3/8" x 1 3/4", this is in excellent condition and uses emerald green baguettes with red enamel flames and numerous red rhinestone ornaments. Plated brass; plating is of the particular color that Hollycraft used, and since Hollycraft manufactured for Pakula I would assume this is actually of Hollycraft production. Marked with a copyright symbol and Pakula on right lowest branch (see back picture.) I have priced this at the low end of the price estimates. Item: SP8-619 Price: $49.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
  |
Description: Brooks "Harp" Tree with Baguette Candles - I don't know anything about the Brooks company but the only times I have seen Brooks pieces have been as Christmas pins. The goldtone base of this piece is done with thin goldtone wires "strung" front and back, and pronged rhinestones for ornaments and candles. Multi jeweltone rhinestones for ornaments, clear rhinestone baguettes for candles with topaz colored rhinestone flames. 2 1/2" x 2" at the widest point. Excellent original condition. Shown on the cover of the Trowbridge book and on p.22 of the Morrison book. Item: SP8-245 Price: $49.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Cadoro Partridge in a Pear Tree Christmas Tree Brooch - Cadoro did several different versions on the Partridge in a Pear Tree - this one features 16 goldtone pears with green enameled branches and leaves and an aqua and blue enameled bird. This piece is shown in Morrison's Christmas book and is quite rare. 2 3/4" x 1 3/4". Aside from a few dings in the enamel this is in excellent shape. Item: SP8-465 Price: $74.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
|
•••
  |
Description: Pakula 5-Tiered Christmas Tree Pin in Multi-Green Stones - Shown in both the Morrison and Trowbridge Christmas jewelry books, this piece uses both flatback and pointed back rhinestones in olivine, emerald, green tourmaline and a light peridot. Goldtone setting is the same type used by Hollycraft, who may indeed have actually manufactured this piece for Pakula. Marked Pakula with a copyright symbol. 2 3/8" x 1 3/8". Excellent original condition. Item: SP8-463 Price: $57.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: ART "Garland" Christmas Tree Pin - This ART tree is shown in Morrison, Gallina and Trowbridge, and has been nickednamed the "garland" tree, and apparently came in both this version and one with olive green enamel under the "snow". Typical rhinestone colors of hyacinth, amber, emerald and cobalt. Excellent condition - one green stones seems a little large but I can find no evidence that it is a replacement. 2 1/8" x 1 1/8". Signed ART with copyright symbol on the back of the tree base. Item: SP8-464 Price: $36.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Mylu Red and Green Christmas Tree Pin - Another book piece, pictured in Gallina's 2nd edition book on p. 57, here with all red and green 7mm rhinestones. 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" and very good heft, much more substantial feeling than usual. Modern design with 3-D"bottom" of the tree going behind the base, a very nice touch. Excellent condition. Item: SP8-482 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: Rare Pakula Comet Argent 5-Tiered Christmas Tree Pin and Matching Earrings - Highly unusual Christmas tree pin set (and a design match for the SP8-463 tree, above) in that it uses comet argent (metallic silver) rhinestones set in antiqued silvertone, each piece topped with a clear aurora borealis flatback. Grey seems to have been a popular color in the late 1950's and I am guessing that these were produced around that time. Excellent condition, one stone is a replacement. Earrings are 1 1/8" x 3/4". Item: SS8-476 Price: $89.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
|
•••
|
Description: Corocraft Domed Tree - I have had this tree before both signed and unsigned, and in a colored version. This features all clear stones in goldtone - as far as I can tell all are original. Shown in every Christmas tree book that I have seen. One of the best of the vintage trees. 2 1/2" x 1 1/4" x 1/2" deep. Item: SP12-403 Price: $47.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
|
•••
  |
Description: Mamselle Christmas Tree with Multi Baguettes - An uncommon signature and a very pretty tree with unusual use of colored baguette rhinestones in capri blue, emerald green and true ruby red, a more raspberry red than traditional siam red. 2" by 1 3/8"; other than a little minor spotting that is found in this type of finish the piece is in the excellent original condition. Item: SP12-412 Price: $49.50US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: Corocraft Domed Tree Pin and Earring Set - The colored version of the tree shown above in all clear, with the elusive matching earrings! Montana blue, fuchsia, emerald green and clear rhinestones form "v" patterns. Pin is signed Coro on the pinback and Corocraft on the body; earrings are unsigned. Other than the clears being a little discolored on body of the earrings (an easy replacement if you wish), these are in excellent shape. Shown in almost every collector book on holiday jewelry that I have seen. Brooch is 2 1/2" x 1 1/4" and earrings are 1 1/8". Item: SS12-413 Price: $95.00/set US Sorry, SOLD! |

  |
Description: Ultracraft Scalloped Christmas Tree Pin with Multi Rhinestones - Ultracraft is Ultra Rare! and this is by far the nicest tree I have seen by this company and in excellent original condition. Round rhinestones in various sizes in sapphire blue, emerald green and siam red dot the goldtone. 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" and slightly domed. A wonderful addition to any tree collection. Shown in both Gallina books but in an antiqued silvertone/clear rhinestone version. This has also been seen marked Corel, a division of Coro. Item: SP12-414 Price: $59.50US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••

Item: SP12-278 Price: $85.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |
|
•••
  |
Description: Hollycraft "Ribbon" Christmas Tree Pin with Red and Green Flatback Rhinestones - Again, another book piece shown in several Christmas tree collecting books. 2 1/4" x 1 3/4"; goldtone; only the star has a clear aurora borealis stone. All original, mint condition. Signed Hollycraft with a copyright symbol but no date, indicating this is probably 1960 or shortly thereafter. Item: SP12-381 Price: $79.50US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: Hattie Carnegie "Press and Glow" Light Up Tree in Original Box - One of the ultimate finds for a tree collector and for those who love Hattie. I do not know whether this will work or not as I have not been able to find the correct battery; I am assuming the original battery would have been a hearing aid battery?? Anyway an added plus is the original presentation box, and all appear to be in excellent condition. Pin that holds the cover to the battery shut is loose but could be adjusted once you find the correct battery. A variation of this piece is shown in almost every Christmas collector book. Item: SP12-415 Price: $125.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Excellent original condition. Item: SP12-462 Price: $29.50US Sorry, SOLD! |

|
Description: ART Christmas Bell Pin - I have been lucky enough to obtain another of these bells in excellent original condition. Goldtone with olive green translucent enamel, set with capri blue, light siam, fuchsia and light topaz glass rhinestones with a dark blue rhinestone for the "clapper". Dangle style, 2 1/8" x 1 1/2". I can find no flaw in this piece. Signed ART with a copyright symbol on both the upper and lower parts. Item: SP12-382 Price: $34.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |
|
•••
  |
Description: Jeanne Christmas Tree Pin with Red and Green Rhinestones - Jeanne pieces are difficult to come by; this is the only Christmas tree I have seen by this company, and I have not seen any Jeanne trees in any of the Christmas books - Trowbridge shows a Jeanne piece but it is not a tree. 2 3/8" x 1 7/8" at the widest point, this uses a rope design to outline the branches of the tree. Goldtone has mellowed a bit with time but everything is in excellent shape. Rare. Item: SPRLS12-94 Price: $65.00US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: JJ Christmas Tree in Multi Navette Rhinestones - Jonnette Jewelry produced many great pieces over the years (JJ is, unfortunately, no longer in business); I am guessing this is an earlier piece. Shown in both Trowbridge and Morrison, this measures 2 1/4" x 1 5/8" and uses a slightly hobnailed goldtone metal base. Very slight discoloration on metal as seen in picture. Item: SPRLS12-95 Price: $45.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

  |
Description: JJ Scalloped Christmas Tree Pin with Multi Rhinestones - Another older Jonnette tree, this uses a 5 tiered scalloped design that alternates a metal bead with multi colored rhinestones. 2 1/4" x 1 3/4".

Description: JJ Penguin Christmas Tree in Red and Green Rhinestones - Many of JJ's later Christmas pieces (and pieces in general) were marketed under the name Artifacts; pieces are still signed JJ but often appear on Artifacts display cards. Known for many clever and hilarious designs, this one uses penguins with green navette bodies separated by red rhinestones. Red glass star at the top. Pewtery type metal, 2 5/8" x 1 5/8". Unusual in that this has a flat bottom. Fun piece for those who enjoy penguin pieces. Excellent condition. Item: SPRLS12-106 Price: $30.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

  |
Description: ART Cut Out Christmas Tree Pin with Multi Rhinestones - This particular ART design was done in both an enameled and non-enameled version (see Morrison book for non-enameled version) and uses the usual sapphire-topaz-hyacinth rhinestone combination that was standard for this company. There are some clear rhinestones here that may or may not be original; if you would like us to replace them, we can do it, but this was as found. 2 1/4" x 1 1/2", layered openwork design has olive colored enameling, goldtone. Item: SPRLS12-100 Price: $45.00US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: ART Candle Christmas Tree - Shown in Trowbridge, Gallina 2nd edition, and Morrison, this uses a two layered design very similar to the one above, but fills it in with filigree and accents with multicolored "balls" in blue, green, topaz, clear and orange, with clear baguette "candles". The clears in this piece showing aging, otherwise excellent condition. 2" x 1 1/2". Item: SPRLS12-98 Price: $45.00 US |

Interesting "claw" design for trunk, enameled branches reach down with the usual accents of hyacinth, blue, green and clear rhinestones. 2 3/8" x 1 1/2", double layered design. Enameling has worn a little at high points but in general is in good shape. Otherwise excellent. Item: SPRLS12-96 Price: $32.50US Sorry, SOLD! |

Very good condition, with some of the ivory enamel worn off. Item: SPRLS12-335 Price: $22.50US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Weiss Candle Christmas Trees Set - The famous ultimate set for Christmas tree collectors, these use frosted baguettes for candles. Shown in Gallina, Morrison, and Trowbridge, they are known as 6 candle, 5 candle and 3 candle for the three sizes. All in excellent condition, with the smallest showing a little aging of the clear stones. 6 candle tree has a gunmetal type setting, while the other two are in the traditional brassy goldtone. All of the price guides seem to agree that the value of these, individually, is very high, so I think you will find our price for the trio quite reasonable. Item: SPRLS12-115 Price: $495.00/all three pieces US |

Description: Tancer Poinsettia Christmas Tree Pin with Green Rhinestones - Tancer and TancerII markings are a spinoff of the Mylu company, where the original founders of Mylu for Coro, sisters Marge Borofsky and Lynn Gordon formed a partnership with Michael Tancer. This piece is shown in Gallina, Morrison, and Trowbridge in various enamelings; this translucent enameling is so light that a couple of books referred to it as pink. The centers of 6 of the flowers are green rhinestones, the others are gold knobs. 2 1/2" x 1 1/2". Item: SPRLS12-44 Price: $20.00US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Tancer Christmas Tree in Clear Aurora Borealis Rhinestones - This is signed Tancer II, though part of the II is almost covered with the pinback.

Description: AJC Christmas Tree Pin - This knobby textured tree has an overcoat of green glitter, with a polished goldtone star. This is a working musical tree; I have replaced both batteries but am having trouble getting the repeating tunes (Jingle Bells, Santa Clause is Coming To Town, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas) to stop repeating without removing the battery! . 2 3/4" x 1 7/8". AJC is the mark for American Jewelry Company and this piece is shown in Trowbridge's book. Item: SPRLS12-45 Price: $32.00US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Atwood & Sawyer Christmas Tree in Red and Green Rhinestones - This piece comes in its original box and is marked A&S; for whatever reason my camera balked at photographing the signature. At 1 7/8" x 1 1/4", this is quite small but is a quality piece in excellent condition. This is a less showy version of the one pictured in Morrison's book. A&S is, I believe, a company located in the UK. The outside of the presentation box is marked "The Atwood Collection" and "A&S". Item: SPRLS12-54 Price: $42.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Corel Tree Pin - Corel was apparently a division of Coro (which had several); this is a particularly pretty tree done in a translucent green enamel with light siam red rhinestones and goldtone stars. 2 1/4" x 1 3/8".

Description: Weiss Victorian Candle Tree Pin - This piece is done with a dark silvertone finish, with clear baguette candles topped with red aurora borealis flames, and "ornaments" of red, green and clear aurora borealis rhinestones. Excellent if not pristine condition. My feeling is that this is a repro and I have priced it as such. If not, you get a great bargain! 2 1/2" x 1 1/2". Item: SPRLS12-511 Price: $40.00US Sorry, SOLD! |
•••
|
Description: Weiss Victorian Candle Tree Pin - A color variation of the one above, this time with clear baguette candles topped with siam red flames, and decorataed with green, siam and topaz yellow flatback glass stones.

  |
Description: Weiss Tree - This piece is silvertone that has been heavily antiqued on the body and paste set with lime green aurora borealis rhinestones, while the star is set with a single clear rhinestone. Very different and appealing but again, I am not sure that this isn't a reproduction. Plating on clasp, though, does seem to be aged rather than "antiqued". Excellent condition. You be the judge.

Description: Weiss Flatback Tree Pin - Whether you call this flatback, mirror back, or "roses", these rhinestones are all handset on top of a green enameled background, and only the star is set with a clear pointback rhinestone. Goldtone, the flatbacks are light green tourmaline colored, with pink, blue and siam red stones sprinkled around for ornaments. 2 1/4" x 1 1/2", this piece is shown in Gallina's 2nd edition and is, I believe, the genuine article.

Description: Kramer Christmas Tree Pin - Shown in both Trowbridge and Morrison, this has shiny goldtone plating set with clear aurora borealis rhinestones for the bulk of the piece, and olive green, fuchsia and hyacinth (orange) rhinestones sprinkled about for ornaments. Trowbridge has this piece valued at $150-$200, we have gone with the more conservative values in the Morrison book; however, it should be noted that Kramer trees are not very common. Excellent condition. Item: SPRLS12-523 Price: $85.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: LJ or LJM Christmas Tree Pin - I am not certain of the mark on this - LJ is pretty clear but whether there is another letter after it is unclear. 2" x 1 1/4", goldtone, set with light emerald, capri blue, dark siam and clear rhinestones. Excellent condition. Item: SPRLS12-525 Price: $18.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Hollycraft Christmas Tree Pin - Shown in Gallina, Trowbridge and Morrison, this wonderful tree uses colored baguette candles with extra facets (which to my knowledge these stones are no longer made); as per usual with Hollycraft most of the rest of the stones are flatback (rosecut) stones. 2 1/4" x 1 1/2". Some of the flatbacks show age, but everything appears to be original. Slight verdigris at top left on the back has been removed. Price reflects condition. Item: SPRLS12-529 Price: $95.00 US |

Description: JEZ Sterling Christmas Tree Pin - Again, I do not know what JEZ stands for - this also has an upside-down copyright mark above JEZ and 925 (sterling mark.). This has patina and could be restored to original bright silvertone but I will leave that to the new owner's discretion. This tree's boughs are done in swirls; a wreath, a candy cane, a gift box and what I think is supposed to be a snowman dangle off the bottom as charms, with each charm except the candy cane being marked the same as the tree. What appears to be a garnet cabochon is set in the star. 1 3/4" x 1 1/2" (not including charms in this measurement.) Other than expected patina this is in excellent condition. Item: SPRLS12-531 Price: $25.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Avon Bow Tree Pin - Again, shown in Gallina, Trowbridge, and Morrison, this goldtone tree has colored aurora borealis rhinestones, (probably a cool color but it is difficult to tell which) and lots of bows. Trowbridge states that this is a pre-1978 tree. 2 1/4" x 1 5/8". Excellent condition. I have priced both of these trees quite conservatively compared to their book values. Item: SPRLS12-536 Price: $20.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |
