1955-1970 the maker’s mark was used with a copyright symbol. However, the Artist Series enamel brooches weren’t a thing until the 70s, so I would say this one is between 1970 and 1975.
Manufactured by Fallon and Kappel of New York.
Scuff on the head of the bird, otherwise in excellent condition.

My summary post today is: It’s too damn hot to write a blog post. My computer’s fan is laboring and it’s got to be over a hundred in the office. Time to shut it all down…
Sun: Medium Light
Water: Water well when moderately dry
Soil: Prefers well drained soil
Fertilize: monthly during growing season with a weak solution
Native to: South Africa
Notes:
Got mine at Steins several years ago. Not entirely sure mine are fasciata or attenuata. Haworthia fasciata doesn’t like direct sunlight, as I have recently found by accident. I thinned out the plants above it in the window and now it’s turning red! The leaves are becoming brittle and some of them are drying out. It likes bright light, just keep it out of the direct sun.
