    My husband didn't like it at all and usually I listen to him but I really liked this whimsical brooch!

    The brooch shows a skier "hugging" a tree. I know how this feels because I used to ski a long time ago and found myself in similar situations. It wasn't funny at the time, though.

    The brooch is unmarked. I believe it is made of brass or some sort of pot metal. There are some nice enamel accents.

    Based on the design, I would date it to the 1940's.

    Thanks for looking:)

    P.S.: The last picture is of my little dog, Charlie Brown. We had a nice snow storm, and Charlie enjoyed some time in the back yard. Well, I made him enjoy it.

      Thanks for your comment, Roycroftbooksfromme1. We got the doggie ten years ago for the kids. They all have left the house or are too busy to take care of the little fellow, so he is mine now.
