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.

Another vintage Lucite cameo pin, this one oval in
shape, lightly reverse carved with a scalloped edge and
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

Pretty little clear Lucite pin with embedded red roses. It
measures a little over 1 1/4 square and has some minor
wear in the form of light scratching on part of its surface.

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.
