Vintage Black Bakelite & Reverse Carved Lucite Banjo Brooch
This fabulous vintage brooch features a figural banjo hand crafted with a black bakelite fret board and a reverse carved and painted lucite body. The fret board has 4 strings that connect to the body with metal pegs. The brooch is detailed and extremely well made. We do not know who made these brooches, but they were not factory production pieces and are relatively scarce. The brooch measures 4 by 1 3/4" and other than some very normal age wear to the lucite is in excellent condition. This brooch is shown on page 230 in "American Costume Jewelry N-Z - Art & Industry 1935-1950" by Roberto & Carla Brunialti.
