    Greetings!

    I received this brooch and am SO curious about the history of the pin. Does anyone have any idea:
    1. What is this character? A bird?
    2. What era? My guess is the 1950's or 1960's.
    3. Was this intended to be used as a traditional locket (photo) or something else?
    4. I should note that the Front of the pin has the most accurate coloring. It is a shamrock green with yellow-gold coloring.

    I've tried Google image search and scouring the web without little luck! I would appreciate any insight as I love the piece.

      Adorable bird!
      According to a poshmark ad, it's a "vintage green bird solid perfume brooch locket," 1960s perfume brooch twists to open faint floral solid perfume. Very pretty piece

      @Newfld, thank you for your response! Would you be able to provide the Poshmark ad link? I had no idea solid perfume was used in brooches. Cool! It makes sense, though, as someone might lean in and give a hug.

      @Newfld apologies I find the Poshmark ad! I am curious as to how you located this item! Thanks!

      Does anyone know what company manufactured these? :)

      Hi ccdraws,
      Glad you were able to locate the poshmark ad for your pretty bird as I'm not a "link" person, I just kept googling images of your bright green bird & suspected it could be a solid perfume holder. As to the co. that made it I think Avon could be a possibility but in those days solid perfume pieces were made by many incl. Estee Lauder. Good luck in your search!

      Thanks Newfld! Closing this case for now.
