1953 Trifari Signed Alfred Phillipe Rhinestone Gold Comet Meteor Brooch Pin 50s Apparently this is some species of Alfred Philippe comet design from 1953, before the 1957 version and after the 1949 Meteor parure. Baguette white rhinestones in a gold tone base, somewhat the worse for wear but still pretty, see measurements below. Height: 1 1/2″ Width: 2″ Depth: 5/8″ with pin part Stones: clear baguettes Weight: 21.6 grams Wear: some wear to gold plating; a couple stones under metal swoosh area look odd (see close-ups) Signed: impressed TRIFARI PAT. PEND on plaque on back I couldn’t find another example of this pin in gold tone for sale (though one in silver tone), but I did find the design patent record, see photo 2. I think this particular one is actually from right about that time, too, 1953. It has the patent pending mark with the Trifari stamp, and seems to have been worn some fair amount in its 70-year life span, some wear to the gold plating now, presumably on the “Trifarium” metal they were using then. It has tarnish, too, and I don’t know what you’re supposed to use to clean it, so I haven’t tried. The baguettes all seem bright, no dead ones, but a couple under the swirling metal piece seem odd, visible in the magnified photos, maybe residue of polish? I think it might look better after a cleaning. In hunting for any official name this line might have had (no luck), I came across an old magazine ad for Trifari’s later Comet line, apparently sometimes confused with this pin as being from 1953, but no, that ad floating around (see photo 6) is actually from 1957, the later rather than the early 50s (which you can kind of tell from her outfit, presented as evening jewelry of the cocktail or ‘prom’ sort of that time). My suspicion is that Trifari (by then Crown Trifari) reissued a comet design then because they had done Meteor in the late 40s, this Comet (of some kind) in the early 50s, and in 1957 comets were in the news again a little because of “1957/d”, I think later named Comet Mrkos, which was visible for several months that year with no telescope and anyone who remembered pictures of Halley’s was trying to see it. I also feel quite sure this is an early 50s design, probably thought up in ’52, because “Comet” was the name of the first jet liner (the de Havilland Comet), and it was an exciting new thing in 1952, as very few people had ever flown at all back then. But excitement about that Comet was short-lived, because within the matter of a year several of them went down in harrowing ways, which made international news and sent the reputation spiraling downward too, after which the Comet jet wasn’t heard of again for years. So my guess is this was a comet design from ’52, released in ’53, but possibly short-lived after the Comet plane gave the concept some unfortunate associations. Who knows? But it’s a pretty pin, wear to the goldtone notwithstanding, and would surely be good to wear for the next actual comet pass. (Some newly discovered one is supposed to be coming this October, and possibly visible in the daytime, they say.) Questions, just ask 🙂 * If eBay’s calculated shipping quote for something ever seems ludicrous (ok, more ludicrous than usual, because yes, the USPS has raised the rates again!), just send us your zip code and we’ll check rates directly. ** This applies to their automated ‘estimated arrival date,’ too. If you truly need something by a certain day, tell us first, as the generic estimates are often fanciful at best, and totally uncontrollable by us, as the byzantine workings of the USPS always were, even before Covid. *** If you’ve read this far, check our other sales. Multiple items can often be packed and shipped together at a savings, but if you’re considering that, it’s best to drop us a line first. (To get a lower rate anything shipping to the same address must be combined at checkout, or else the automated system calculates postage separately and overrides all our efforts to stop it.)
