Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage Poodle Tennis Player Brooch | White Milk Glass Stones | Gold Tone Textured | 1" | Unsigned
Game, set, poodle. This little vintage brooch is a gold-tone poodle with a curly textured coat, a topknot and a pom-pom tail, holding a tennis racket with a woven-look face. Seven faceted white milk glass stones make up the body, and tiny green eyes and a black nose give the face plenty of personality.
At just 1" it's a sweet size for a collar, cardigan, hat or tennis bag, and a fun gift for a poodle lover or tennis player. Poodle jewelry was a big favorite in the 1950s and 60s; this one is unmarked, so its exact age isn't known.
Condition: Good vintage condition. There is wear to the gold-tone finish, with darkened spots across the textured surface. The close-up photos taken in hand show the finish most accurately. All seven stones are present, and the pin back has a rollover safety clasp. Unmarked. Please see all photos.
