Arts & Crafts Pin; Forest Craft Guild Attribution

This pretty bar pin is handwrought and attributed to the Forest Craft Guild of Grand Rapids. It is 2 1/2 inches by 1/4 inch and is unsigned as much of their work was. The center cabachon is iridescent blue/green glass and measures 1/4 by 7/8. The pin is probably german silver (also known as nickel silver). Forest Mann started the Craft Guild in 1905 and it operated until 1918. The pin is in excellent condition and in it's use of glass cabachons and cutout designs very typical of the Guilds designs.
