Coro Signed 1940's Whimsical Dr. Seuss Style Enamel Christmas Tree Brooch Rhinestone Pin


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, "Dr. Seuss" inspired 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: This piece 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. It carries the physical "heft" and presence of a true designer original.
Intact Holiday Detailing: Features hand-applied green and red enamel with seven perfectly preserved red seed-bead "ornaments." The crown is set with a brilliant clear rhinestone centered in a bold red enamel star.
Precision Mechanical Findings: Engineered with a secure round-hinge bar and a tight safety catch, ensuring the brooch sits perfectly and securely on a lapel or coat.
