Dachshund Sterling Silver Pin by Beaucraft: Vintage, Almost 2" Long

An adorable Dachshund sterling silver pin by Beaucraft.  It is marked on the back, "Beau Ster(ling)".

The pin is almost 2" long and in very good shape.  The Beaucraft company was started in 1947 and was in business for more than half a century.  A few of their items were made in Mexico, but those are clearly marked. This was definitely made in the USA.

Have no idea when this was made, some say in the 1950's; but I could not verify that.  I do know that the company has been out of business for over two decades.
