$348.48

Rare pair of vintage mirror image William Spratling, Taxco, Mexican sterling silver and faux tortoiseshell brooches in the form of leaping fish. Circa 1950s.Measure approx 2.8 x 3 cm and weigh 7.1g each. The Spratling maker\'s mark is clearer on one of the brooches (the other is a little rubbed and has a rivet through the middle), plus eagle mark with number 30 on both. Pin and roll-over clasps are in working order, although the roll-over catch on one is slightly out of alignment and does not fully lock into the corresponding groove below. I believe the roll-over clasp on the other brooch may be a replacement (see photos). Will be supplied in the hard case shown in the photos.In good vintage condition with light surface marks in keeping with age and general use. Please take a look at all of the photos provided as they form a large part of my description. Happy to combine postage with other items if required. Thank you.
