Presented is a vintage c. 1950 brooch by Halbé, one of the more obscure American costume jewelry makers of the mid-20C.
It’s made of metal with a rhodium finish and designed as a figural donkey.
He is studded with clear rhinestones and has a red rhinestone eye and brown enamel accents on the tail and mane.
This has its original tag.
Probably originally conceived for supporters of the Democratic party, this brooch is now making a timely reappearance!
Fun addition to your American costume jewelry collection.

Measurements
About 1 1/8” by 1 1/8”
Condition
