I have one that is black and white and a cat signature etched Sandee on the back. It reminds me of a Lea Stein (but I don't think it is). One just sold on ebay listed as Hobe here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-UNUSUAL-HOBE-HUGE-LION-FACE-NECKLACE-/270631821243?pt=Vintage_Costume_Jewelry&hash=item3f02e9dfbb#ht_500wt_811 There is currently one also for sale on ebay. I think it is collectibe and would not take apart. Mine is a quality piece and when I bought it at a thrifts shop in came in a Saks Fifth Avenue Box. I did find one like your in one of my research books, but I loaned them out and do not have them now. When I get them back I will try and look it up for you. Good Luck
Opps, I spelled collectible wrong.
