Product Information
Christmas tree pins are one of the most popular niches in the costume-jewelry figurals category. Holiday brooches are widely collected and sought, the most desirable being valued over $200. While most attention has been given to signed jewelry, unmarked pieces maintain an aura of mystery that maddens aficionados determined to solve a pin's provenance. Who made certain beautiful or unusual pieces? Was it Eisenberg, Carnegie, Weiss, Robert, Sandor, Boucher, Reinad, Mazer, Calvaire? Often, even experts will never know. Some unmarked creations are among the most intriguing of all - and among the most affordable. The most unusual specimens here include: karat-gold Christmas tree parure; white-flocked tin tree with aluminum bells; tree with French Provincial frame and blue-glass center panel. Text describes trees and offers price guide. Introduction aids collectors in understanding why a pin might have gone unmarked, including various scenarios involved in design and manufacture.Product Identifiers
