Description
Presented is a rare, sterling silver pin or brooch made by William Spratling of Taxco, Mexico during the early 1940s. This is a very interesting piece of Spratling, & in the over 30 years of dealing with antiques, we have never seen a piece of his in this unique style. The pin shows two hands in a tight handshake over the Americas. The hands are highly raised. The back has a replacement pin-clip but a classic pin-back can be added if so desired, or perhaps even a bale/hoop for hanging the piece as a pendant. The back is marked with the Spratling mark used between 1940-1944 & sterling. This piece is in good condition. There are some small dings but no breaks, no splits & no repairs. The pin measures by 1 1/4 by 1 5/8 inches & weighs 17 grams. Spratling Sterling Silver Americas Friendship Handshake Pin Taxco Mexico Brooch
