The condition is very good for this type of jewelry. Issues noted are:
The enamel shows loss in the feather areas of the bird giving it a soft, gracefully aged, look
The silver rhodium plating is in excellent vintage condition
Not marked Coro, stamped with the patent number. A well documented piece
Measures 3~7/8" x 1~ 5/8" at it's widest point
