ECLECTICA Figural Pins

	Rhodium plated basket of blue brooch features blue moonstone cabochons and tiny clear chatons. Measuring about 2 3/8 inches wide, this large basket is in perfect condition.

	From my personal collection of vintage birds, this swell enamel bird holds a double bubble glass (pre-war) photo holder in which reside the original photos of Myrna Loy and William Powell, stars of the "Thin Man" series of films from 1934 into the 1940's.The graceful pink and white bird locket holder is probably designed by Coro and is similar to other Coro pieces in my collection. It measures almost 2 inches wide at the top and dangles 2.75 inches long. On the other side of the glass bubble is William Powell. Unsigned, view the back. There is a small chip in the enamel along the bird's upper neck. It is hardly seen when worn and otherwise, this very special piece is in very fine condition. The arrow points to the chip.The original photos could be replaced with your own if you wish but please don't throw away Myrna and Dick. They were so wonderful in the Thin Man series and this is a grand movie collectible! Order "LK7-#480flight," $95.00.
