 My oh my, what a find! This fabulous DeNicola crab figural Cancer Zodiac is to die for! Bright green and bright blue enameling on his cute legs and claws with a coral colored plastic body. The cute little guy is further enhanced with sparkling clear rhinestones. His claws are holding a rhinestone Cancer glyph (symbol). He is in near mint condition. I do not see any wear what so ever, but due to the fact he is vintage, I will refrain from saying he is in mint condition. Measures 1 3/4 by 1 3/4 inches.$325USD

 |  Elzac California victim of fashion brooch. A variation of this brooch entitled "Ubangi" with the patent # 135,100 was issued to Elliot Handler on Feb. 23, 1943, can be seen on page 188 of "American Costume Jewelry Art & Industry, 1935-1950" vol A-M by Carla & Roberto Brunialti. Some crazing as is expected for a ceramic piece of this age. The pin clasp also has some rusting on one end. Measures just a tad under 4 inches tall.
Wonderful Brunialti book piece!

Very good condition with some some enamel loss, which is normal for a piece this old. $22USD

 |  Extremely hard to find DC Comics Batman & Robin vintage brooches from 1966. I spent day researching these pins, and the only reference I was able to find on the web has this exact same Batman pin still on the original card. There is a link to the site in my "Favorite Links" folder, entitled Batman. These brooches are enameled and very well made. There is some minor enamel loss. I now know I was extremely lucky to find this pair. I have found no other examples of the Robin pin anywhere online, either a pin or a photograph. Batman measures 2 7/8 by 1 3/8 inches and Robin measures 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches. Great pieces a for Batman or a vintage jewelry collection! $195

 Book Piece- ART signed hard to find cute big headed enameled owl. This little guy doesn't show up very often, and is part of a series of matching figurals. I have seen the matching songbird.
I quickly found him in Marcia Brown's 2006 "Rhinestone Jewelry Figurals Animals & Whimsicals" page 135 and also in Marcia Brown's 2004 "Signed Beauties of Costume Jewelry Vol II" page 17. He is such a fun piece, and it might be fun to find his friends.
He measures 2 by 1 1/4 inches and is in excellent condition, with very little enamel loss. $65USD

 SOLD- BOOK PIECE- Kathy Floods Warman's
"Costume Jewelry Figurals" book on page 186
I thought this was the "Unknown Comic" but.... after showing this little fellow to friends in an online vintage jewelry group, I am not quite sure exactly who he is anymore. With the bag over his head, it surely looks like the Unknown Comic. When you turn the bag back, to see his face, it looks just like Richard Nixon, and is also standing in a very Nixon stance, with his hands in the air.
Maybe it is a pin depicting both. We could not come to a consensus in our jewelry group. He is a cute pin though, with some enamel loss, but a great piece nonetheless. He measures 1 1/2 by 3/4 inches. $24USD
