A pair of Election Day reminders for those politically inclined :) The 2" donkey brooch with large red ears & aqua eye has a goldtone setting, early Coro piece from the 1940s, patent number 142,183. The 2 1-4" performing elephant brooch holds a faux pearl ball in his trunk, with multi color rhinestones on goldtone, by Danecraft ca 1960s
These are to cute Jenni.Thats why I have you on my list to alert me when you post something.You always find the most unique and interesting things.
These are so cool- both really have a carnival or even slightly Mardi Gras theme to them I think?! Especially the elephant, I love his little embellished pearl and rhinestones but the donkey is cool too- you don't see many brooches of donkeys about!
Cute pair! I think my favorite is the donkey brooch. Lauren is right, you don’t see many donkey brooches around anymore.
Thanks everyone for the kind love

Thanks Ken for the great compliment, I saw the Coro first but then thought about Election Day & wanted to put it next to a size appropriate elephant & saw the cute Danecraft fella
Eileen thank you so much for the wonderful compliments, fell in love with the Coro donkey with his red & aqua rhinestones (they used that coloring often in the 30s and 40s with their horses, duettes etc), then got the elephant & was surprised it wasn't sterling as most Danecraft pieces were. Yep I'm a holiday person so why not Election Day, even tho this is not a major one & I usually abstain myself, hate being on the call list for jury duty
What a lovely compliment jb I am so, so happy that you enjoy my collection, I really try to make it interesting and not same old stuff all the time, thank you for noticing my friend & glad you liked my facetious little voting pals
Yes Lauren these two do look rather festive and seem to be prancing about as if in a carnival or circus! I get excited to hear Mardi Gras as that's one of my fave times of year, the Carnaval floats of Brazil are so gorgeous around Lent time & often feature animals. Thank you for the super praise
MrsT thank you so much for the sweet compliments and you & Lauren are right, very few vintage donkeys around (unless you count the political pins, lots of those), my fave here is also the classic Coro which was a very lucky find as some of their oldies are priced way out of my league
Roy I have missed you SO much my friend, thank you so much for stopping by and hope all is well in your world, luv always Jenni
Many thanks for the kind love
