Jewel Experts - Help date this Christmas Tree

[Patentleathershoes]

Its some sort of metal or metal composite. The candle stick bases - which you could probably see better in a scan have a little facet to them

It was from a collection that was amassed betw the late 20s and the late 70s/very early 80s

Would it be possible to see a photo of the back? Construction and findings are important when trying to date a piece.

I finally got around to scanning it....the lady's collection ran from about 1927ish to her death in 83ish. I am sure this is later, but much higher quality than the typical xmas tree pins you see.
