My husband didn't like it at all and usually I listen to him but I really liked this whimsical brooch!
The brooch shows a skier "hugging" a tree. I know how this feels because I used to ski a long time ago and found myself in similar situations. It wasn't funny at the time, though.
The brooch is unmarked. I believe it is made of brass or some sort of pot metal. There are some nice enamel accents.
Based on the design, I would date it to the 1940's.
Thanks for looking:)
P.S.: The last picture is of my little dog, Charlie Brown. We had a nice snow storm, and Charlie enjoyed some time in the back yard. Well, I made him enjoy it.
Love the humour of it too ... a tense moment.
This is wonderful, no doubt, no doubt at all !!
Oh, thank you so much for your comments, vetraio50 and PhilDMorris. I will rub it into my husband's face LOL
It looks like it almost spells L-o-V-e ! :^)
Awesome brooch!! And that snowfall looks beautiful! Charlie looks pretty cute sitting in the snow on top of the picnic table.
billretirecoll, I think I see it - with a bit of imagination LOL
Yep, if it's good enough, it could look like almost anything! :^D Good for Valentine's Day though! LOL
Adorable!
Cute!!! Both...!!!
Kyratango and Celiene, thanks for your comment:)
I love the picture of Charle Brownnnnnnnnnn..
Thanks for your comment, Roycroftbooksfromme1. We got the doggie ten years ago for the kids. They all have left the house or are too busy to take care of the little fellow, so he is mine now.
Love your Charlie dog again ;-)
great brooch..great dog!
OMG, I have not checked this post in three years! How fast time is passing! Many thanks for the kind remarks, kyratango and lentilka11. My little Charlie is getting old but he is still kicking strong:)
