This is a nifty piece of novelty jewelry - an initial 'R' on a clear Lucite square with reverse beveled edges, suspended from a black Lucite rectangular piece with beveled edges. The clear Lucite is in very good condition and free from clouding (there's a little bit of grime which shows in the last photo which has since been removed). The clear portion of this pin measures 1 1/2" square and the black rectangle measures 7/8" x 1 1/2". The pin's overall length is 2 5/8". Circa 1940s, in very good condition.

Vintage 'sweetheart' jewelry, featuring a clear Lucite heart suspending from a pair of wooden wings by what appears to be a celluloid chain link. Circa 1940s. The Lucite heart, which measures a little under 2 x 2", is free from cloudiness and shows only very minor wear in the form of very light scratches on its surface. The wooden wing portion measures 2 7/8" from wing tip to wing tip and is in excellent condition. Closes with a simple C pin back. This piece, overall, is in near excellent 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

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.

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.

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.
