1942 RARE Vintage TRIFARI Alfred Philippe Figural Enamel Walking Duck Brooch
Any flaw or problem will absolutely be mentioned. It is so darn cute, but this fiesty little duck is definitely missing some enamel. The silver tone finish back reflects the Trifari mark and the C pin closure operates properly. The little glass ruby bullet cab for the eye looks to be original, as do the rhinestones. The pave rhinestones do show some age but still have sparkle. This duck seems very determined to get somewhere quick and is certainly on a mission. If you have the right person restore the enamel it would not be much of a job as the web feet and beak seem to be the easier part to restore with the yellow body being in good condition. Some collectors want their pieces just as they are found, so that would just be up to the individual. The brooch is signed Trifari. The closure works as it should.
