I really have no idea the appraiser did not tell me much about it at all just that is was very old I do have more cameo bracelets I will be listing later on he put a value of 900.00 on so I may let one of them go later so keep checking back thanks

Is this a pin or pendant? Can you post a picture of the back? When you say real do you mean carved shell? Thank you. Watching.

Jul 22nd, 2015 at 1:13:06 PM PDT by

this is a pin will post more pics later thanks

Is this cameo plastic or a genuine carved shell cameo? Thank you.

I really don't know how to tell but this came from my aunts estate and she never had anything that wasn't expensive it was well kept and probably never worn

Jul 25th, 2015 at 6:17:21 PM PDT by

Yes, I'm interested in knowing if this is a real shell cameo or is it made from resin.
Thank you

Newish casing.

Jul 25th, 2015 at 2:58:46 PM PDT by

this has been in her cedar chest for years and years so I don't think it was reset

Stick your young to it if it is cool it is shell, if it is room temp. It is plastic. Also if it clicks like a rock its shell, if it is a soft sound or no sound when you knock it lightly against your teeth it is plastic. Really simple. I had an antique store for years and believe me I learned fast.

I will try that and see LOL I never thought about doing anything I don't mess with vintage items they say If u try to clean them or anything it will mess up the value so I try to just do it as is and the winner find out but I will try it and see what I come up with thanks so much for the info

1928 is a name of a co. It's not the year it was made.

Jul 25th, 2015 at 8:27:07 PM PDT by

it does not have that on it that is what the appraiser told me the year it was made not the company

Jul 26th, 2015 at 5:54:00 PM PDT by

I would love to see a back pic also, thanks!

Jul 23rd, 2015 at 2:58:38 PM PDT by

Ok will post one in just a few minutes thanks

Jul 23rd, 2015 at 3:04:13 PM PDT by

May have been reset?

Jul 25th, 2015 at 2:59:56 PM PDT by

I don't think so it has been well kept inside a cedar chest in a box wrapped up I wish I know how to tell anything else about the appraiser when I inherited this did not put a value on it so I really have no idea I just know I did not need it I have so much and don't ever wear pins

Jul 25th, 2015 at 6:19:15 PM PDT by

That was tongue not young.

Jul 25th, 2015 at 6:59:07 PM PDT by

LOL I got you I am not home soon as I get home I will do that test and post tomorrow what I find out I hate putting my tongue on it since it has been kept so long my aunt said it was from about 1922 or later so I don't know but I will find out and post soon as I can

Jul 25th, 2015 at 7:39:50 PM PDT by

Jul 26th, 2015 at 10:30:32 AM PDT by

Jul 26th, 2015 at 5:53:25 PM PDT by

Is it possible to get a better picuture of the clasp please?? Ty

Jul 27th, 2015 at 12:04:28 PM PDT by

will try

Jul 27th, 2015 at 10:14:16 PM PDT by

I always rub them on my jeans and touch them to my cheek. If it does not get warm by rubbing against my jeans and is cool when I touch it to my cheek it is either shell or ivory.

Jul 28th, 2015 at 10:04:44 AM PDT by

thanks for the info I will try to post more info when I get home I am on vacation and now everyone has me curious LOL will see thanks

Jul 29th, 2015 at 11:59:08 AM PDT by

I also loupe them and look for carving marks. That would be very telling.

Jul 28th, 2015 at 10:06:11 AM PDT by

will see I am not home at the moment but will try to post before the auction is over thanks

Jul 29th, 2015 at 11:58:32 AM PDT by

A lot of old cameos where made from Sardonyx (stone). The Older, original cameos are Sardonyx not shell. Sure wish I had the credits to GIN this!
