Was thinking (pretty sure)more scarf slide. Don't poo poo costume pieces like that!!! Some of the stuff I've got looks like it came out of a gumball machine, but are worth over $75 - $100 Anyone finding or collecting costume jewelry I would suggest acquiring Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 by Julia C. Carroll. Covers 1935 up to 1980. I would suggest this as the bare minimum for swap meet & yard salers.I would guess it's made by some obscure (prob.) Chinese company trying to capitalize on a name by using Tutti Frutti which was also a popular Art Deco jewelry style. I agree, it looks like either pewter or pot metal/white metal. Age less than 20 years. Here is a similar made material tutti frutti signed shoe pendant necklace- https://poshmark.com/listing/Necklace-tutti-frutti-59542c8136d594934f001a5a
This is all tutti frutti signed costume stuff.

I didn't po-po anything and I don't need kleenex.. I provided links to other pieces of costume made by the same company. All of which are cheap, modern and not really collectible. I know all about costume jewelry. I've been collecting it for years now. I can show you pictures if you'd like.Was thinking (pretty sure)more scarf slide. Don't poo poo costume pieces like that!!!

After you get the book, go buy a box of Kleenex for when you realize how much you passed over at GW & yard sales thinking that box was full of junk.
Whoah there partner! A little too much Red Bull? The comment refers to most people poo pooing costume as junk & throw it back. Most people don't realize a lot of costume will bring more profit than the gold & silver plate pieces. And end up feeling bummed when they find they missed a seventy dollar piece. Don't need to see pretty pictures. I too have piles, yes piles of pieces a lot in 5 gallon buckets. Right now I think I've got 11 plastic shoe boxes of just Trifari stuff, one & a third buckets of just Avon. Last time I had my fraternity pins appraised my book was at $3,000 +/- / Ever see the first Girl Guides pins? Had two sold one kept one. Used to buy from a friend who did clean outs by the box (s). What does that prove? Nada! Just lucky & knowledgeable. As for the book reference, was hoping to give the guy a good hint to start his reference library without forking over major money for useless books.. As far as your not really collectible remark, a lot is collectible & a lot is profitable there's a difference. So how about we just lay off the red bull a little & call it good? Take care and I hope you find tons more!I didn't po-po anything and I don't need kleenex.. I provided links to other pieces of costume made by the same company.

I don't drink Red Bull. Maybe next time you shouldn't quote me when you are making general comments. Maybe then I won't take it personally next time. Points to ponder.Whoah there partner!
