Description

1940-50ss BAKELITE FIGURAL MAN PIN Repurposed OOAK into a Bakelite & Sterling Silver Kitty CAT BROOCH--
This is Super Fun and a great conversation pi
Brooch purchased at an antique mall in the early 1980s - it was a 1950s bakelite pin--& repurposed
it is a Bakelite Figural Brooch reconfigured into a OOAK Bakelite & Sterling Silver Kitty Cat brooch. the hardware was changed out with Sterling Silver jump rings & the face had a 3d Sterling vintage kitty face added. It doesn't get much cuter than this. Definitely a truly wonderful Conversation piece. I love bakelite but also love sterling Silver. The beads rub & smell like bakelite easily. I believe it is applejuice bakelite.
the body is faceted & doesnt have the bakelite smell it may be a green lucite or just plastic if you choose to have it back you can probably easily take off the Kitty cat mask there is a face drawing underneath he measures 3.5" tall x 2.5" wide.
