Christmas Tree Pin Success!

When it comes to Christmas tree pins, they are a hot commodity. Not only year 'round, but especially it seems in October, November and December.

I mentioned in an earlier pin post that I really hadn't gotten into collecting Christmas tree pin costume jewelry, but that I was going to change that this year. Little did I realize how hot and heavy the bidding would be!

But after losing several auctions, I finally snagged the JJ Christmas tree pin with two cats that I have been wanting. I just think it's too cute! And you know, I wore it this weekend and got compliments wherever I went.

Oh, remember I was talking about costume jewelry books and book value? This is one case where the current cost is higher than what's listed in the book.

Art Christmas Tree Pin

Another pin I managed to get (finally) is a Christmas tree pin by Art. Since my friend Jennie got this pin as a gift in the late 60's or early 70's, I know the approximate date of when the pin was produced.

This pin is fairly available (not rare), but there was still some fierce bidding going on at times. I had lost several auctions for this Christmas tree pin by Art before I finally won one.

Eisenberg Tree

I also managed to win an auction for an Eisenberg Ice Christmas tree pin. Again, after losing a few auctions. It's not particularly old, but I really like the design. What can I say, I like glitter and sparkle!

What About a Pin for You?

If you like wearing Christmas jewelry and don't have much in the way of trees, maybe now is the time to start. I personally like the signed trees, but you should buy what you like.

So, here's a as well as a small sampling below. Have fun browsing!
