Description

The listing, Art Deco Style Molded Celluloid Brooch- 1940's-50's has ended.

This Brooch is Post WWII Japan. It almost looks good enough to eat with candy colored celluloid. Japan cranked out a great many celluloid products and the jewelry was a huge hit. Today this Jewelry is quite collectible. I think its the sour economy most likely but pre recession this type of jewelry was so hot it commanded crazy prices. Not so today, but, still a lovely brooch produced primarily for export from 1946 through 1955. The brooch measures 2.25" long and is just under 1.5" wide and Art Deco influenced in style. Color is closest to the actual color on photo 2- I tried to lighten photos because they came out dark.
Rings and brooches of this type are fairly rare, bracelets are more prevalent.

Oh I see that now! Love Kitty's! my husband is allergic to cats but we have a neighbor cat who visits us on a daily basis and he adores my husband.
Its pretty mutual even though he's allergic.
