VINTAGE MEXICAN HAT PIN!

This adorable wood pin came from my mother-in-law's collection of jewelry. I acquired it when my sister-in-law was downsizing some of her things...
They said it was probably bought in Mexico sometime in the 1940's or maybe '50's, but thought my father-in-law got it when he was in the service during WWII.

VINTAGE MEXICAN HAT PIN!!

Notice how bright and vibrant the colors are!
I seriously doubt this piece was ever worn because it is in such excellent condition. The back pin clasp was broken, but I managed to secure an older pin and replace it to maintain the vintage look....
and it looks adorable on my red wool coat!!

I only wish I had thought to make something as cute as this, but I am glad it survived the years so someone else can enjoy it!
This is not really a crafting post, but I wanted to share my find because I was amazed by the workmanship. Whoever made this was a true crafter because this piece is very unique!
