Sorry, this item has sold.

I found this beautiful Ultra Craft pin in a small town antique shop in the Midwest while vintage hunting on vacation. When I got home, I was delighted to find featured on page 135 of Jill C. Gallina’s book, Christmas Pins Past and Present, albeit in gold tone metal and slightly larger. At the time of publication 2013, she placed its value at $50 and dates it to the early l990s.

On the back of the tree is the maker’s mark “Ultra Craft ©” in block letters. Luigi B. Guadagno founded Ultracraft, Inc. in l970 after beginning in the jewelry making craft as a model maker in l959. Jill Gallina captures the creative force behind Ultra Craft this way in her book, “… his wonderful legacy of beautifully designed and sleekly crafted jewelry continues to live on for collectors fortunate enough to own an Ultra Craft Christmas pin.”

This gold tone metal tree has a gilded look with five scalloped tiers highlighted with small and large clear rhinestones which make a dramatic and timeless holiday statement.

Measuring 2 7/8” high by 2.5 wide, overall the tree is in excellent vintage condition, with very light wear. In fact, despite its vintage age, it appears it was rarely worn. The roll over clasp and pin are strong and secure; the faceted stones bright and intact, and the metal glimmering. It is a delightful vintage pin for any Christmas lover or Christmas tree pin collector. The pictures offer greater perspective on its condition and stunning beauty. (Note: I have a red camera and on some pictures you will see its shadows; not metal discoloration).
