Description: Vintage Carved Butterscotch Bakelite Stick Pin Brooch, 2 Piece Design, Tested, 3 Inches Wide, 1930s-40s Art Deco Style This vintage carved butterscotch pin, crafted in the 1930s-1940s, is a versatile statement piece in rich, warm butterscotch bakelite. Composed of two carved sections joined by a metal-threaded pin, it can be styled as a brooch, a scarf holder, or added to any jacket or dress for a timeless touch. Tested for authenticity using simichrome polish, the pin does not show typical Bakelite results, but other indicators, such as scent and characteristic sound, strongly suggest it is Bakelite, with a slight chance it may be carved celluloid. This versatile accessory is an elegant addition to any Art Deco-inspired collection.

Or attach it to a lapel or sweater for an effortless, retro accent. Celebrities like Lucille Ball and Lauren Bacall helped popularize Bakelite in the 1940s, giving this piece a touch of old Hollywood glamour that shines with casual or dressed-up styles. History of Bakelite Bakelite jewelry gained fame in the early 20th century as an innovative material with a range of colors and carved details. Known for its durability, Bakelite became a favorite of vintage collectors and icons of the silver screen. Artisans carved unique, often whimsical designs, and the jewelry has remained popular for decades among collectors and fashion enthusiasts for its distinct style and charm. How to Wear Your Bakelite Pin To wear vintage pins, place them carefully on fabric, avoiding thick, delicate material to prevent pulls. If your piece fits tightly, gently screw on the end to fasten securely. This versatile piece can be used as a brooch, scarf pin, or decorative accessory for any occasion.
