2 handmade Mid Century Modern Silver, Copper, and Turquoise Inlay Cat Brooches.

Made in Taxco, Mexico. Total weight of the two is 6.9 grams.

The kitties are two adorable little scatter pins. with turquoise eyes and head tops and paws, and copper bodies.

From an estate. I bought these little kitties together, they seem to want to stay together, so I am selling them together.

The brooches in this exact combination of materials are rare. Ones with onyx instead of turquoise, or with no copper are less rare.

Signed "METALES", and "TMEXICO". There is another marking, but it was not stamped deep enough to be readable. This is the case for both brooches.

One pin is 1 inch by 0.5 inch. The other is 1 inch by 0.75 inch.

Excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of wear. There is some tarnishing of the copper and silver, but no verdigris. I leave the choice of polishing them to the buyer. Please see photos for condition details.

Thanks!
