Anyway :) This is a little french poodle brooch
that's gold toned (obviously silver underneath!). It measures 1 3/8" long and is a little cutie.

$12.00
This pin is about 2 1/4" high and is made of very lightweight wood. He's wearing (painted) yellow shoes, a green coat, white gloves and a red hat.

There appears to be some kind of marking on the back of this but I can't really make it out...looks like TAFY or something?

The pin is intact and the bobble head spring is very springy still.
