Vintage Alfred Philippe Crown Trifari Clip-Mates Dress Shoe Clips Brooch 1936

Vintage Alfred Philippe for Crown Trifari Clip-Mates Dress Shoe Clips And Brooch. 1930s Clip-Mates by Trifari were designed and patent applied for by one of the top all time designers Alfred Philippe. This example you will receive is signed Clip- Mate's & Pat No 2050804. I have included a snapshot of the official patent information show Alfred Philippe applied and was awarded the patent.

Showing this brooch was a Trifari Brooch & this was a very early produced clip-mate. This clip-mate is missing one baguette stone on the right side shown in picture 17. And one of the Hinged parts has worn to where is needs to be soldered.

Still works as intended and does not affect the appearance. Stunning early example of Alfred Philippe and Trifari. The pictures do not do this piece justice, the sparkle is absolutely stunning.
