Charming Lucite owl pin with matching screw back
earrings. This is actually a book piece (see page 103 of
Plastic Jewelry by Kelley & Schiffer), lightly carved on
both the front and reverse with a simple C clasp closure.
There is some paint loss on the right eye of the owl pin;
other than that, it's in very good condition. The earrings
are interesting; though the owl face earrings are a match
to the pin in color, shape and expression, the earring
backs are stamped, "Sterling," while the pin back is not.
It's curious that Sterling silver would be used on what is
essentially novelty jewelry. The pin measures 3 1/5
inches in length, 1 3/4 inches at its widest and the
earrings are 7/8 x 3/4 inches.

Another vintage Lucite cameo pin, this one oval in

measuring 2 15/16 inches in length and 2 1/8 inches in
width. The pin back is inserted into the Lucite and has a
simple C closure. Circa 1940s and in very good vintage
condition.

Vintage reverse carved Lucite pin with black cameo. I've
seen many of these pins labeled as a "Bakelite cameo
pin;" however, since black Bakelite in general does not
respond to the 409 test and I know of no celluloid tests
which wouldn't potentially damage the piece, we're
simply calling it a hard plastic cameo. This one rests on
deeply reverse carved Lucite and measures nearly 2 1/2
inches in diameter with the pin back embedded into the
Lucite. The purplish reflection on the back picture is the
glue which attaches the cameo to the Lucite base and is
not dirt or goop on the back of the pin itself. Circa 1940s

This is an adorable vintage Lucite donkey pin which is
reverse carved and painted. The Lucite has no chips or

metal. Measures 3 inches in length and 2 1/2 inches
from ear tip to hoof. Circa 1940s.

Pretty little clear Lucite pin with embedded red roses. It

Wood & Lucite horse head pin, near identical to one in
Leigh Leishner's Collecting Art Plastic Jewelry. We say,
"near identical," since these were usually hand-carved &
there may be slight variances. What isn't obvious by
looking at the pics is that the wood is thick - measuring
1/2 inch at its greatest point. The pin is a simple C
closure - no safety latch - and is embedded in the wood.
It measures 3" in height by 2 5/8" wide.

No other way to put it - goofy, screwball looking Lucite
bird pin. If nothing else, it has personality. Light reverse
carving on the wings, crown and tail with yellow tinted
wings, amber tinted 'mini-wings,' and copper colored
moon glow head and body with painted face and green
painted accents on wings, body and tail. It measures 3
1/2 inches from wingtip to wingtip and 3 inches in height.

Bas-relief autumn colored flowers on a clear oval of
Lucite, this vintage Lucite pin measures 2 inches long by
1 1/2 inches in height. Click on the picture to see a shot
of the closure on this pin because I'm not sure how to
describe it. It's a C closure, but the "C" is parallel to the
rest of the hardware and has an inverted "V" which
serves to hold the pin itself in place.

Gorgeous yellow rose set in clear Lucite. This brooch
measures 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Please see the
close-up photo of the brooch back...we're thinking that
the back indicates a real flower was used in the
manufacture of this brooch but we're not sure. We'd love
to hear from you if you know more about this type of
piece.

I like this just because it's goofy and a little unusual and I
have a weakness for confetti Lucite. This pin is done in
gold tone, in very good condition, and measures 1 7/8
inches in length. The confetti is white and gold and as
you can see in the second picture, his back is a dome of
clear Lucite. Very charming in a creepy sort of way.
