This is a Beautiful And Very Unique Silver Handcrafted Dog-Cat Broche Pin. I say Dog-Cat because I am not sure if it is to be a dog or a cat. I say it looks like a cat and my buying wife says its a dog. You will have to decide for yourself. It is very well made and very solid. The brooch is solid silver but not sure what the stone is (although it does look natural). Please view the pics for a better description. It looks like it was probably made in the 60's-70's but not sure. It weighs 23.7 grams. The different color changes in the pics are because of the lighting. Pin and latch are in good condition and ready to wear. Please take a second to read below where I obtained the Brooch. Good Luck in your ventures.
A little history on the item. I purchased this item, and many more unique pieces from an elderly lady here in Mobile, Alabama last year. I spent a couple of days with her and she was as sprite and smart as any young college girl. She was 93 and had many wonderful stories of traveling all over the world and collecting things, and memories. She was also the Alabama LPGA Director for many years, and I have a good bit of pendants and pins pertaining to that time in here life. She was being forced to sell her house and move in to assisted living and could no longer keep most of her things (most of the jewelry I am selling was never worn). She said she just loved to collect pretty and unique things. I told her that I would be reselling these items, and she said, OH, IF ONLY THESE THINGS COULD TELL THE STORES OF HER TRAVELS. She was quit a lady and passed earlier this year. Sorry to ramble, but I just felt compelled to share a little bit of her memory with my customers. We could sure use more people like here in today's society.
