Boucher 1941 Raspberries Brooch
As referenced in the Brunialti
book, "Tribute to America," on pages 150 and 151, this series
of fruits and vegetables were produced and patented in Marcel
Boucher in 1941. Perhaps the most desirable Boucher
series, this raspberry fruit pin is rare and hard to find. Marked
"Des. Pat' D," this pin leaves no doubt to it's origin. I believe
the MB mark is to the top of the Patent mark but the "MB" is
hard to see. There are two areas of worn enamel on the leaves. View leaves closer.
There is normal wear to the high points of the raspberries. View
berries closer here. Pin measures 2 3/4 inches at widest. View the back.
A wonderful and desirable early Boucher pin for the serious collector! Order
"7FBCR-610Boucher,"
$565.00.

Purchased in the Eighties at Saks
Fifth Avenue, this unsigned
Karl Lagerfeld bracelet still has the original price tag attached
and has never been worn. This marvelous glass bracelet measures 8
inches long but due to the thickness of it, needs a 7 1/3 inch or
smaller wrist. View the bracelet
full length. Bracelet is worn twisted and includes 12 beautiful
strands of aqua, green, teal, blue and golden beads. View the bracelet
on wrist. Typical KL clasp as seen on many of Lagerfeld's
necklaces and bracelets. See the clasp
closer. Bracelet is about 2 1/2 inches wide and heavy. View the beads
closer. Original price twenty years ago was $200.00. View back of
clasp. Classic and elegant! Order "4BCR-650lager,"

comparison. Slight flea bites commensurate with age but nothing at all
serious or distractible. Bracelet measures 7 inches long by about 1 and
1/4 inches wide. Quality piece, signed by "WARNER," probably
dates to the 1950's. From a wonderful North Carolina estate, we've never
