Coro Signed 1940's Whimsical Dr. Seuss Style Enamel Christmas Tree Brooch Rhinestone Pin
Materials and Features:
Whimsical "Curly Foot" Architecture: A distinctive, high-relief stylized Christmas tree design featuring a scrolled base. This playful figural silhouette is a well-documented rarity hook, far more collectible than the standard triangular shapes typically found in holiday jewelry.
Pre-1955 Script Signature: Features the original Coro script hallmark without the copyright symbol, confirming it is an earlier, high-standard production run. Collectors prioritize these pre-1955 pieces for their superior metallurgy and hand-finished details.
Artisan 16g Weight: Unlike modern reproductions or late-era pins that feel thin and hollow, this genuine 1940's piece has a professional 16g density, providing a substantial boutique "heft."
Intact Holiday Detailing: Features hand-applied green and red enamel with seven red seed-bead "ornaments." The crown is set with a brilliant clear rhinestone centered in a bold red enamel star.
Archival Stippled Reverse: The backplate features a specialized textured finish, a technical hardware detail that protects the gold-tone finish from friction wear while increasing metallurgical density.
Type: Brooch features a standard roll-over safety catch and reinforced pin bar
