Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Christmas tree pins are one of the most popular niches in the costume-jewelry figurals category. Holiday brooches are widely collected and sought, the most desirable being valued over $200. While most attention has been given to signed jewelry, unmarked pieces maintain an aura of mystery that maddens aficionados determined to solve a pin's provenance. Who made certain beautiful or unusual pieces? Was it Eisenberg, Carnegie, Weiss, Robert, Sandor, Boucher, Reinad, Mazer, Calvaire? Often, even experts will never know. Some unmarked creations are among the most intriguing of all - and among the most affordable. The most unusual specimens here include: karat-gold Christmas tree parure; white-flocked tin tree with aluminum bells; tree with French Provincial frame and blue-glass center panel. Text describes trees and offers price guide. Introduction aids collectors in understanding why a pin might have gone unmarked, including various scenarios involved in design and manufacture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Someone's going to get coal in their stocking!, October 20, 2008
Kathy Flood has blessed us with an illustrative masterpiece to help the reader find their very own delightful holiday pin and a bit of magical holiday warmth that comes along with wearing it. We all know that nothing says holiday cheer like a beautiful Christmas tree pin. We also know that nothing says bah-humbug like a bad review from a lump of coal. I'm not sure which book was being reviewed that deserved a one star rating, but I assure anyone considering this book that if you crack open the cover all the Scrooge's in your life will be whisked away. Let the one-star Grinch be blinded by the sparkle of these pins as showcased as only Kathy can! Happy Holidays!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sherri's review, September 9, 2008
Once again, Kathy Flood has published a very informative book, this one being dedicated to Christmas Tree pins. Kathy has included such a variety of tree pins in this book and so many that one hasn't seen anywhere before. She has done a fantastic job of capturing the unusual. I thought I had a lot of tree pins in my collection, until I got this book and I have very few of the ones it in! It gives me so many to look for.
