Avis Yuni Antiques & Collectibles

Manufacturer: Bakelite Jewelry
Beautiful vintage costume jewelry piece out of a home, a deeply carved and double pierced geometric or stylized leaf, made of bakelite in the rich butterscotch color. This is a scarf clip or dress clip or coat clip or brooch, having a metal clip firmly attached to the backside with 5 prongs to hold this securely in place when wearing. Measures 2 3/8 inches length, 1 1/4 inches greatest width, and is a thick piece of bakelite measuring 1/8 inch in depth to just the bakelite (about 3/8 inch depth including the metal clip).

We've provided 8 images to show from all angles, top and back sides, clip open and closed, and in differing lighting. Please note that the camera lighting creates white "hot spots" on the smooth polished bakelite surfaces. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely. This old costume jewelry piece was tested with Simichrome Polish and shown to be bakelite. We have see this bakelite color also referred to as orange, deep orange and caramel, but are used to referring to this as the bakelite butterscotch color.

Wonderful vintage condition with no chips, cracks or pieces missing. This could use a good cleaning (you can see the dust/dirt in the deeply carved grooves) but we are selling as is/as found. As common with vintage bakelite pieces, if you examine this closely in bright light you will see evidence of age/wear/use wear via tiny surface scratches, perhaps some tiny spots/rubbed spots, a few dark pin dots on the backside edge, etc., but nothing bad here at all and nothing that would be noticed when worn. Metal clip in good shape, shows some age/wear but nothing bad and works great. Lovely vintage piece ready to adorn any outfit or coat.

We have other bakelite items listed for sale. Should you be interested in more than one, please contact us prior to inputting the order. The system has been set up to calculate shipping for each individual listing and will not provide you with the savings you would get by shipping more than one listing in the same package. We will need to do that for you.
