"Teenies"
4. "Teenies" 
These tiny little metal figurals make me smile!  A few are marked "Spain" but most are unmarked.  General size is 2" and probably made in the 60's-70's.  All titles are mine.  Personal collection, not for sale.

Made In Argentina
5. Made In Argentina 
Metal figural brooches made in Argentina are adorable, even with most of their paint gone.  They are usually made of brasstone or goldtone metal, or in some cases sterling, and probably date from the 1950's-1970's.  Industria Agentina simply means Made in Argentina, although I've seen in my research that there is an actual company by this name (I'm skeptical, since Industria Argentina marks are on everything from jewelry to flatware to sterling serving pieces to toys.  But who knows?).  All are marked Industria Argentina unless otherwise noted, and all titles are mine.  Personal collection, not for sale.

Seggi
6. Seggi 
Sharon Seggi (pronounced "SEDGE-ee") was a metalsmith specializing in custom art and metal designs.  She founded Studio S in Tempe, Arizona in 1994 after receiving her master's degree in Metalsmithing from Arizona State University.  Sadly, she battled cancer for seven years before passing in 2007.  She was a teacher and mentor, as well as a gifted artist.  I am a huge fan of her whimsical figural brooches, and apparently so was Joanne Woodwood--in the Sotheby's "The Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman Collection" auction in 2023, a Sharon Seggi brooch ("Comedy/Tragedy") was estimated to bring $600-800.
