Vintage Monkey In Palm Tree Pin ~ Blue Rhinestones
Circa 1940s/50s, this whimsical figural brooch features a monkey climbing in a palm tree, his outstretched hand reaching for a coconut. Blue rhinestone accents are set into several fronds. The monkey is goldtone while the tree is silvertone base metal. 2 3/4". No maker's marks, but has stamped circles on reverse which I've seen for other figural pins. Very good condition with a touch of plating wear in places, and a couple very small pinpoint holes in the base of the trunk (although I'm not sure whether this could have been intentional as part of the design). - $70
