Here is a cute example of the very collectible vintage enamel flower pin. These pins were extremely popular in the 1950s through 1970s, made by Sarah Coventry, Avon (after 1971) and other jewelry manufacturers of that time. This pin is smaller than many similar designs and is unmarked. It measures approximately 1 3/4 inches in diameter and features irridescent white enameled petals with a textured goldtone center. I believe it was made in the 1950s or 1960s. These pins are very collectible today, but I never buy one unless the enamel is in perfect condition (and that is hard to find!)
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on http://www.rubylane.com/ is coming soon.
