Adorable hinged rhinestone scarecrow pin. This little guy is so cute, and his lower body moves when you do. A great example of figural costume jewelry. I have looked for another hinged scarecrow pin on the internet and have not found one similar to this one. He is very similar to other hinged scarecrow pins shown in Leigh Leshner's book, Vintage Jewelry, where they are priced at $45. There are a few tiny rhinestones missing, but it doesn't detract much, in my opinion. He measures 1 1/4" high. The metal and pinback are in excellent condition. These scarecrow pins were popular around the time the Wizard of Oz movie came out. so he's an oldie but goodie.
