Cascade

Bit of a Magpie, people. Oh, apparently that whole attracted to shiny things is a myth. Birds on the brain today. 

Unable to say who made these. Design hallmarks suggest Coro, Monet, or Trifari…or you know, creators of general excellence.  Can confirm difficult to remove. Just emotionally.

Very good vintage condition. Minor scuffs. Still buffing. Must squint. Will arrive with  sterling backings.

And just because: Magpies have been historically maligned, accused of extraordinary group violence, and subject to unnecessary culls. Including some sport event that Hemmingway arranged because I guess he wanted to shoot a smart bird??

Now protected.
