    Description

    Beautiful Bakelite/Catalin dangling fruit pin.  I think the berries are blackberries.  One berry is a lighter shade of rootbeer, and the two larger berries are darker.  The celluloid leaves are amazing!  Not flat lifeless leaves, but curved with engraved lines that are highlighted with gold paint.  The "caps" on the berries also have gold accents.
    The pin at top is three layered leaves that measure 2.5" across.
    Three decorative link chains hold four leaves and three berries that dangle below.  The two larger berries are 1.25" long and the one smaller one is 1" long.
    Overall length is about 3.75" long.
    In excellent condition.
    Note:  I was unable to find an exact match to this pin, but did find other berry pins in Karima Perry's book "Bakelite Pins" (page 71) that had the exact same curved leaves, and chain construction, just different fruit.
