Reference: Pictured in a feature on current costume jewelry, alongside Trifari Ming and Jelly Belly pins, in the [Washington DC] Evening Star, 27 Mar 1942, p 50; click thumbnail above to view advertisement. Women's Wear Daily, 6 Feb 1942, p 16, described Sandor's spring collection - 'an undersea group of lucite and rhinestone designs set in engraved gold finished metal. Mermaid tails flaunting, flower sprays, frogs, owls, and dolphins are some of the subjects for pins which have earrings to match'; see SSS1315 (Sandor Mermaid) to view - the construction of this, and the Starfish Man SSS1187 are exactly similar (with both signed only with plaques attached to the same clip as here). Schiffer, Fun Jewelry, p 155, this owl (missing its feet and perch) signed Sandor. ••Reference Links - sss1315 sss1187
