lucebird.jpg (65270 bytes) B11302 Lucite 'n Wood Bird Pin -- Bakelite-era pin, with over- and under-carved and enameled Lucite. This cute birdie is sitting on a wooden branch, which is highlight-enameled in green. C clasp pinback is riveted into the back of the pin. 2" across. Condition: Very Good, with a somewhat corroded pinback and very slight enamel chipping. $50
B20973 Lucite Red Fish Pin -- this guy has personality! Clear undercarved Lucite is teamed with red painted lucite (somewhat chipped near the gills). Riveted-in pinback, "C" clasp. About 3" across. $80
B11004 Wide, Wide, Wide Bakelite Bracelet -- you are lucky this won't fit my hand; otherwise I'd keep it! Marbled deep amber translucent bangle. 1-7/8" wide. Inside diameter is 2-1/2"; bangle is just shy of 1/4" in thickness. Very light scratch patina, as you'd expect. $65
B10938 Lucite "Granny Goose" Pin -- adorable over-carved clear Lucite pin of a goose, in hat, carrying a basket. When I bought this cutie, she had an intaglio-carved eye socket. Close inspection revealed glue residue, so I knew she had once sported a stone "eye." Well, I gave her one! Hope she likes red. 2-1/4" across, with an inset safety clasp pinback. $70
lucmap.jpg (107941 bytes) B10855 Lucite 'n Rhinestone Maple Leaf Pin -- gorgeous under- and over-carved Lucite leaf pin with embedded rhinestones. BIG! Measures 3-1/4" across. Embedded pinback that looks like it may have been reglued (yes, it shows a tiny bit). $45
luciteshamrock.jpg (89366 bytes) B10805 Lucite 'n Wood Shamrock -- or 4-leaf clover, if you prefer! Nicely-carved piece measuring 2'1/2" tall. "C" clasp pinback is riveted into the Lucite. $80
applejbakebuckle.jpg (57664 bytes) B10701 Applejuice Bakelite Two-Piece Buckle -- undercarved with two stripes. Hardware is screwed into the piece with straight screws. Measures 2-1/2" across. $60
B10492 Bakelite Carved Owl Earrings -- these are deluxe! Screwbacks, with findings glued on. Glue is old and yellowed. The back of one earring has tiny chips along the edges; this does not show from the front, and in fact could have been part of the manufacture, for all I know. Each measures about 1" tall. $90
