Vintage Bakelite Figural Lumberjack Shaving Brooch
This adorable vintage figural brooch features a lumberjack shaving his beard while sitting on a bakelite log. The figural is detailed and dimensional. His hat is a coon skin cap, his jacket enameled in a red and black buffalo check. He is shaving his beard with a straight razor! The log is over dyed bakelite. The brooch measures just a hair under 2" long by 1 3/4" wide. Please note you will often see these brooches listed as Charles F Worth, a French couture design house. There is absolutely no proof anywhere these quirky brooches are associated with the house of Charles F. Worth, who dressed nobility, including the Empress Eugenie. Unfortunately, they were put in a book as such, and this myth has been continued. They remain maker unknown.
