Tancer & Two II Teardrop Gold/Brown Amber Glass Large 3" Statement Brooch

*Nice preowned condition, pin latches nicely. Very little, if any wear. *Great statement piece, will be great on a scarf, or coat. The history of Tancer II began in June 1970, when former Coro designer and president Michael Tancer and his colleagues registered the new brand, since Coro ceased to exist. However, the company headed by Michael didn’t work long, as he filed for deletion of registration in May 1978. Although the history of Tancer spans eight years, their vintage pieces are popular, loved by jewelry lovers and highly collectible. Traditionally, the designers of the company made Christmas costume jewelry using gold and silver tone alloy, multi-color rhinestones and glitter enamel. Noteworthy, among the designers who contributed to the manufacture of Tancer jewelry were founders of Mylu Designs Co., former Coro designers, two sisters, Marge Borofsky and Lynne Gordon. New York designer Michael Tancer had a long and heroic life. In particular, he was a veteran of WWII serving in the US Army Air Force Intelligence Unit. He had been happily married with his wife Francine Tancer for 55 years, until his death. He passed away on March 24, 2004.
