All the pieces are Bakelite, an early plastic, and feel very &quot;soft&quot; when you hold them in your hand. Would be great as a shawl pin or on a winter coat. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17669729 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:19:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.78071986.jpg used 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17668957 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78073796.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> It feels like a medal of some sort, perhaps for bravery? Bakelite - lovely red, translucent butterscotch and deep chocolate, and a bit of metal in a gold color holding the old coat clasp. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17668957 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:19:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78073796.jpg used 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9490156 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.78070702.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> Still shining after all these years, the black and gold centerpiece button doesn&#39;t look its age. It is probably from the 50&#39;s with a high rounded dome shape. The other pieces are about the same age, deep red and applejuice bakelite. Overall, the piece measures almost 2.5 inches across. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9490156 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:19:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.78070702.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19683666 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78067964.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> A little Victorian metal button, set in a Deco inspired frame. The black Bakelite button was a coat button for sure, with its incised design and its big size. The golden yellow Bakelite buckle is in perfect shape and sets off the soft creamy center of the Victorian button nicely.<br /><br />This is a very light, easy to wear pin that will evoke comments every time you put it on. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19683666 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:19:52 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78067964.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5372184 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.78072869.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The black centerpiece of this pin is a Bakelite coat button. It is in wonderful shape and just shines like a gem. The Bakelite pieces behind it are both translucent, red and gold. The feel of the whole piece is like a parfait to me, though I couldn&#39;t tell you why if I had to. Strawberry Parfait. <br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5372184 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:18:14 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.78072869.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9490405 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78073284.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> This Tiger gold and brown pin is based on a warm brown button from the late &#39;50s or early &#39;60s. The base was probably a coat button, while the tiger eye was probably from a classy suit. The small topper button is a shirt size and must have been on a glorious blouse. It is just so ornate and perfect it was probably the focal point of a classic silk shirt. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9490405 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:55 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78073284.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5371983 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.78072382.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> This pin has a Deco flair to it based on the lovely pattern on the deep red button. The Bakelite pieces behind it echo the edges of the leaf shaped carving and allow the fabric to show through when it is pinned to a coat or a blazer or a shawl. This pin would also look great on a hat!<br /><br /><br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=5371983 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:55 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.78072382.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17669439 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78071376.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> I am not sure what the metal is here, but it has a very &quot;soft&quot; look. The wheels and cogs are from a old watch, and the support button is an older mother of pearl. Nothing new, everything from the 1950&#39;s or earlier, and not as big as some of the other pins. A bit more subtle. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17669439 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.78071376.jpg used 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9393109 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.79108603.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The profile on this one is an old clay poker chip, mounted on a deep blue bakelite square and a wonderful big bakelite buckle in a color called applejuice. The profile is very subtle, so to make it work well from a distance as well as close up. I have rubbed permanent blue ink lightly into the chip. The color is sealed in, and will not come off, but it does make it more interesting. <br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9393109 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.79108603.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9392755 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.78068947.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> Bakelite buckles and a celluloid button. This pin is a perfect antidote to a grey day, or the perfect accent to a grey coat or, as shown here, on a light shawl. This one is a pale blue grey. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9392755 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.78068947.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9490644 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.78076289.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> An interesting button, a red plaid wrapped around a deeper red/brown flower heart perhaps? Paired with a lovely deep green buckle from the &#39;50s and a cute little red bakelite cog shaped button. They all fell together in one of my button storage bins and begged to be assembled. The deep red bakelite buckle forms the base and echoes the red in the plaid. The green is hard to photograph, but it is lovely and a very deep green. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9490644 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.78076289.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27552419 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79111510.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The soft green of spring in a perfect celluloid flower in a deep tortoise shell buckle. <br /><br />This springtime memory is a flirty flouncy pin with a soft sheen. <br /><br />I photo these in the direction of the pin, so that if you put the pin into your shawl horizontally, it will look like this. However, you can certainly also put the pin into the shawl or jacket vertically so the pin will have a horizontal shape.<br /><br />The flower is celluloid, the buckle is early plastic, not bakelite, but a dense plastic with a solid feel. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27552419 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79111510.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27588660 <img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.79231567.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> A spring green celluloid button, a black bakelite leaf and a green old plastic swirled background make a tribute to spring in soft greens. <br /><br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27588660 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.79231567.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27588988 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79232574.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The frog is a reproduction of a vintage pin, the rest of the pin is pure vintage bakelite. He looks happy there on his green lillypad atop a red bakelite buckle and a gold bakelite buckle. Great face on this frog, great pin http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27588988 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79232574.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27589350 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79233882.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> A big Butterscotch bakelite buckle forms the backdrop for a black and red deco medallion. The deep red arrowhead buckle sits atop a black bakelite buckle and set off the eaves and flower motif in celluloid. This s a real &quot;statement&quot; piece. No one who sees it will ever forget it. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27589350 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:54 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79233882.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27589776 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.79235093.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The Bakelite button here gives this sedate and quiet pin an oriental feel. The translucent green background with the black Bbakelite ring form a backfround for the cream and black button with a stylized design. These are all vintage pieces and the pin has a soft feel that modern plastics can&#39;t match. Bakelite is gradually disappearing from shops and flea markets, but this piece of history is still wearable. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27589776 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.79235093.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27590108 <img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.79236288.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The Celluloid button with cream and green stripes forms a perfect background for this unusual deco designed squared circle Bakelite button in a lighter green and cream. The green translucent Bakelite circular buckle behind it provides a richer green background. This pin is smaller than many but still makes a lovely statement. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27590108 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.79236288.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27590446 <img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79237282.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The background for this is an old Mother of Pearl buckle topped with an older big red button and a red and white flower button in celluloid. <br /><br />The pierced button on top gives real depth to this pin. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27590446 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.79237282.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27590732 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.79238301.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The face from an old pocket watch forms the support for this metal lizard figure with its glass bead egg. A departure from the usual here, no Bakelite, all metal and glass instead, but the watch face is vintage and so is the lizard. <br />The pink glass bead is the lizard&#39;s egg, and she is protecting it from all threats, as the pin will do for you. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27590732 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:53 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.79238301.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27591035 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.79239349.jpg" /><br /> $30.00<br /> The big Celluloid button forms the base for the translucent green ring and the incised celluloid button. The lines repeat from one button to the other and the deep green shines. <br /><br />A strong graphical pin. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27591035 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:15:45 -0500 30.00 http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.79239349.jpg new 1
