This is a vintage Art Deco dress clip dating to the 1930's. It has a long faceted shield shaped design. The dress clip is made from Bakelite plastic and does test positive by the Simichrome and 409 methods. There is a lightly carved on the reverse wide stripe design. The silver tone clip is embedded in the Bakelite. It is slightly off center but is tight and secure. There are a couple of small cracks in the material and some light surface scratches. Size is 7/8 inches in width by 2 inches in length.

Dress clips were a purely ornamental type of pin that first gained prominence in the 1920's. They were often worn in pairs on the neckline or on straps of dresses. Popularity waned in the 1950's. They can now be used to decorate pockets, at the waistline, on hats or as hair pieces.
