Vintage Bird Brooch

When I saw this brooch, I immediately thought of Coro. I remembered the beautiful Duette brooches Coro made but my brooch isn’t one of them!

I think that this brooch was made in the 1940’s, however, I read somewhere that some reproductions were made in the 1960’s. Based on the kind of metal, I am inclined to say that this brooch is rather from the 40’s (but I could be wrong).

This brooch is made of pot metal and then painted. I belief the eyes originally had rhinestones. I will see if I find a suitable replacement. The brooch is more than 3 and ½ inches and, overall, in very good vintage condition, with exception of the eyes.

Here is a link to a brooch that seems to be just like mine, with the exception of the painting:

This link shows a similar designed brooch decorated with rhinestones and made of a better material. It is a Duette fur clip attributed to Coro:
