How to find patent drawing Trifari pin

[wardbraun]

Hi All, I have this adorable Trifari owl pin and would like to find the patent drawing to put in my auction…I just can’t figure out how to find it! I can see an image on “jewelrypatentscom” but it has their watermark so I assume I can’t use that. I’ve tried google patent search with no luck. Help! If I type 125184 one more time into a search bar I may go mad. Also, if anyone has a copy of American Costume Jewelry by Brunialti 2008 Vol 2 could you verify that this pin is on page 104? In researching the pin I see another owl for sale that says their pin is shown there but theirs has a green belly. Hoping my blue belly is there so I can reference the book too.  Thanks for any help! Lisa (Please excuse the “in hand” picture, it was just a quickie)

I just googled < design patent ", and I could see this picture in the images section:

That should have said:

"I just googled < design patent 125184" ..."

Hi, thank you for replying! I’m trying to find an image that I can use in my auction…this image (the site) says I can not use it without permission. I assume (maybe I shouldn’t) there is a way to get the image directly from the patent office. If I search on USPTO the search doesn’t give me any results. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love that owl and love it more that it's Trifari 😀.  Will this work for you?

[wardbraun]

Yea! That will definitely do. Thank Dream! Soooooo…..how do I do that myself in the future?

Sent you a PM 😉.

That looks like a fur clip, not a pin. Does it have a clasp or do the prongs just snap open then down again?

I have a Trifari fur clip with a rollover clasp to lock one of the prongs closed.

It is a fur clip. I’ve never seen a rollover clasp on one, I’ll have to go looking. (I don’t run into fur clips often enough! Lol) Here is a pic of the back of this one.

This is the one I have. I've never seen one other than this, but I surely haven't seen everything 😀

Thanks for sharing! Very pretty pin/fur clip. You saved me some searching, lol.
