This brooch is encrusted in hundreds of clear rhinestones. The sparkle is tremendous. It depicts a bird in flight, or possibly a bird just about to land.
I purchased it at an estate sale. The informational card that came with it stated "1930s Rhinestone Bird Brooch" and also called it "Pot Metal". It measures 3.75 inches from top of wing to bottom of tail feather. I didn't count the rhinestones, but there has to be a couple hundred. The bird has one red eye.
The brooch has no markings, such as a maker, and that was very common in the 1920s-1930s. The closure on the back is the "C" style connector and works perfectly. There are no missing stones.
Buyer to pay USPS Insured First Class Mail Package delivery charges of $6.45. Delivery is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
