An Assortment of Vintage Costume Stick Pins and a Brooch - An assortment of vintage costume jewellery featuring multiple stick pins and a small brooch, presented in a decorative cream-coloured moulded plastic case. The collection includes five stick pins with cast silver-tone metal animal finials, depicting rabbits or mice in various poses. One prominent stick pin features a faceted blue glass teardrop-shaped stone set within an openwork, twisted silver-tone wire border. Additional stick pins include one decorated with a graduated series of fluted silver and gold-tone metallic beads, one with a black glass teardrop-shaped bead, and three smaller pins secured in the lid: one with a faceted red glass bead, one with a small simulated pearl, and one with a simple cylindrical metal cap. The small silver-tone brooch is designed as a stylised, abstract foliate or bow-like form. The items are constructed from silver-tone and gold-tone base metals with no visible hallmarks or precious metal fineness marks. A fragmentary black and gold foil label is adhered to the interior lid, showing only a legible cursive capital letter H. The moulded plastic case features a decorative floral and lace-like relief pattern on the exterior. Case width: 12.7 cm.
