Vintage cat brooch. Sterling silver kitties pin. A mom and baby or dad cat and kitten brooch. 1980s crazy cat lady jewelry in Mexican sterling marked 925.
Approximate size:
1 ¼” x 1 ¼”
Marked:
“MEXICO
© SU 925”
Condition:
Good, vintage, used. The front has been polished and shows a touch of light scratching and wear, one slightly noticeable rough spot in the center of the large cats belly. The back shows tarnish at the edges. The main flaw is that while the pin back does close, the locking mechanism is stuck closed (due to tarnish) and will not lock the pin in place. This flaw has been accounted for in the pricing of this piece.
