    Description

    FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR:  VINTAGE 1930's Dark Brown CELLULOID or CATALIN Plastic 4-Strand Bead NECKLACE With 7 CARVED Butterfly & Parrot Charms Hanging from a 10" Tassel. From my grandmother's estate. She had a large collection of Bakelite jewelry, but this piece did not test positive with Simichrome.  The plastic is translucent near the edges of the charms and is very smooth and glossy, most likely Celluloid or Catalin.
    The charms are 4 PARROTS ( 2 1/8" height x 1" width) and 3 BUTTERFLIES ( just under 2" width x 1 3/8" height).
    The charms have decorative carvings and  several areas where white resin still remains in the carvings to highlight the designs. Length of 4-strand beaded necklace is 30" (excluding tassel) and total weight is  100 gm. Necklace is strung on cotton string that may have to be replaced. Photo #12 shows large knot of thread, Sold As Found.  Please examine all Listing Photos to evaluate condition, age and craftsmanship. Please consider your purchase carefully; I cannot offer refunds on Antique Jewelry Items. Necklace will be carefully wrapped, boxed, insured and mailed USPS Priority in a Padded Mailer.  I will use a Small Flat Rate Priority Box if it is more economical. Thank you for Viewing.
