CROWN TRIFARI ALFRED PHILIPPE CROWN PIN STERLING SILVER
This Crown Trifari pin was designed in 1944 by Alfred Philippe and patent was issued March 28, 1944. It was made in three sizes and this is the largest 2 \" x 1 7/8 inches. Sometimes referred to as the Patriotic Crown because of the red, white and blue stones. It has very large faux cabacchon moonstones, faceted colored glass stones, clear rhinestones and one red glass cabachon. It has a gold vermeil finish. Signed on the back withtheCROWN MARK OVERTRIFARI- STERLING-DES PAT NO.- 127542.
Some of the the vermeil is worn and is especially on the back where the signature is as you can clearly see the silver. The finish is lightly gold plated and seems to be flaking off . I have not cleaned the pin which has some tarnish on the back. No missing stones or chipped stones. It has a working straight pin with locking closure. Some wear expected due to age but is in excellent pre owned condition.
