    Art Deco Geometric Rhinestone Initial Pin, online buy. Some stones missing, couple of the stones are showing their age.
    Since the maker was in USA and I bought the pin in Czech republic, I wonder what was the life story of its wearer?

    The funny part of this was finding the patent online.
    In case you are interested, here is the patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US2039248
    Patent #: US002039248 from 1935
    Inventor: Huppert William
    Assignee: DELAMERE CO Inc

    VV. H U PPERT INITIAL ORNAMENT Filed Nov. 29, 1935 ATTO RN EY Patented pr. 28, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE VINITIAL ORNAMENT Delaware Application November 29, 1935, Serial No. 52,039
    Claims.
    'I'his invention relates to an initial ornament, and more particularly to certain improvements in ornaments of the type comprising a frame member and insert members, such as initials or 5 v the like, which may be axed to the frame in various groupings.
    The frame and the inserts may be made as stock parts, to be sold separately and to be assembled in situ by the seller or by the purchaser.
    The frame may be adapted to receive one or more initial inserts, usually in groups of three or two, and to hold the initials in properly spaced relation.
    One of the features of this invention is the provision, at the top and bottom of the inserts, of inclined lugs which may be easily bent by finger pressure or the like, without the use of any mechanism or tool, to engagein grooves in the frame so as to hold the inserts in place.
