Vintage 1890s Celluloid Cameo Pin

Jewelry : Vintage : Carved, Cameo : Vintage : Antique : 1890s : Celluloid : Cameo : Pin

 

Beautiful celluloid cameo pin from the 1890s. The cameo depicts a woman with a flower on her shoulder. She is in white on black background. It is in a vintage goldtone tin or light brass framed pin with a straight pin on the back and a tight hook loop clasp or closing. The back is also in a goldtone, but there is some tarnish spots from age. (Expected of a piece over 100 years old! Adds to its character and it is on the back only!) Excellent vintage condition. Dimensions are approx.: 2"L X 1 1/2"W. (Price quoted takes in consideration the flaw on the back of the pin!)

This same cameo, but in a pinkish background instead, can be seen on page 142 of Cameos, A Pocket Guide by Monica Lynn Clements & Patricia Rosser Clements. Copyright date: 1999. Estimated at $95-$125.
