RARE BIG MOUTH WHALE AUSTRIAN CRYSTAL TAIL SATIN GOLD-PLATED PIN BROOCH -1.6"

Description

Very cute whale pin! The pin is a large bodied whale with mouth wide open, perhaps a smile! The small tail is totally studded with brilliant clear Austrian crystals! Lots of sparkle! The golden pin measures about 1 5/8" across. Pin fastens with a swivel catch clasp on the back that works well. Good condition, clean, a couple of dings, a dark spot in the finish on the back, loss of plating at the pin back welds. A possible crack at a weld on one of the pin stick mounts, but the pin back is not loose. Heavy for it's size. Rare pin, good quality, but unsigned
