I'm thinking 70s on the cat brooch (marked Western Germany)?

I'm not sure on the parrot/toucan...maybe 50s?

Thankyou!

That seems about right for both (70's) -- probably a little earlier on the kitty (60's) -- such an expressive face!

Thanks Laura for help with dating! Yes, my cat does have an expressive face...it's almost as if your cat is related to mine :spin:

Agree with '60s for the kitty - not much use on the Toucan though, it was a popular motif in the '80s - oh, I think you're right about it being a parrot - toucans are very colourful, usually people play that up. What's it made of? Is is plastic or ceramic?

Hi Nicole,

It is metal I believe, a kind of pewter tone if there's such a thing, or silver tone gone dingy...on closer inspection tis a parrot. Sorry for poor pics, the light was murky.
