Vintage 1970s-80s Rhinestone Knife, Fork & Spoon Brooch Pins - Lot of 22
A charming and unusual lot of 22 vintage rhinestone brooch pins shaped like knives, forks and spoons, most likely produced in the 1970s-80s. The pins come in gold tone, silver tone and a soft pewter-like finish, with the forks set in red ruby-like stones and the knives and spoons sparkling with clear/opaline rhinestones. Each measures roughly 2 1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide.
These pieces come from a large collection of buttons, pins and brooches assembled by a premier wholesaler who supplied the NYC garment district beginning in the 1950s. They were stored for decades in button boxes in a smoke-free, climate-controlled room and remain in mint, unpolished condition.
This is the first time these exclusive pins have been offered for sale. The lot will not be broken up and no additional pieces are available. All sales final; questions and requests for additional photos are always welcome.
