"This Coro 'Geissmann Screech Owl' 1938 is rhodium-plated base metal with  black and red enameling and pave rhinestones, depicting a screech owl in the act of swooping down on its prey.&lt;P&gt; Robert Geissmann was of German origin, and lived in New York.  He was probably a freelancer who occasionally worked for Cor and the jewelry sector.  He was an inventive designer, with an extremely realistic style which he combined with a touch of irony giving his chosen subject matter an almost fantasy-like appearance and strongly defined expressivity.  The barely hinted three-dimensionality of the subject is emphasize by its position and the material and colors used. &lt;P&gt;\r\nDimensions: 2 5/8\" x 2 1/2\" &lt;P&gt;\r\nDesign Patent 110,141 May 20, 1938 &lt;P&gt;\r\nReference: American Costume Jewelry- Art and Industry, 1935-1950 by Brunialti &amp; Brunialti, Schiffer 2008 V. 1 page 97"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
