From the notable firm of Henry Blank of Co.. formerly one of the Newark jewelers, comes this lioness or big cat stickpin.

Striding along with not a care in the world, and in 14k yellow gold, the magnificent cat is realistically modeled. The cat’s tail appears to be swishing, its mouth is slightly agape as it saunters its way along the gold savannah.

It is set upon a plinth of gold. Beneath rests two scrolls of gold with a natural saltwater pearl (untested) between, for that something special.

This dates to circa 1900 and is hallmarked for 14k and the Henry Blank mark of a crescent moon with an arrow.
