Item Description
First item with their iconic trademark of cherub stirring cup of cocoa is a 7/8" button from 1896 with light age on the back paper from the maker W&H. The button itself is totally clean and displays Mint. Early and scarce. Next is a 2-15/16" tall stickpin also made by W&H with their name and their jeweler's union symbol on the reverse. Front oval repeats the company icon in high relief 10k gold against gorgeous deep blue enamel background. A very impressive piece. Rare and the first we've seen. Essentially Mint.
