Serafin Moctezuma hotsell Taxco Sterling Silver Flora Brooch / Pin

hotsell This vintage sterling silver flora pin was made prior to 1948 by famed Mexican artisan Serafin Moctezuma. The pin is in good vintage condition with no dents or dings. There is a working locking mechanism for the straight pin. The straight pin has a slight bend but is in good working order. This measures 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches and weighs 14 grams.
Moctezuma is known to have copied many Spratling designs and Spratling himself thought that the way Moctezuma signed his jewelry was done purposely to resemble the Spratling signature. If you look at the conjoined SM that Moctezuma used upside down, it does look a bit like Spratlings conjoined WS.
