Bakelite Vintage 1930s Wood on Butterscotch Marlin Fish w/ Glass Eye Brooch Pin

Vintage 1930s Wood on Butterscotch BAKELITE Marlin Fish w/ Glass Eye Brooch Pin   Measurements  -Length: 4”  This piece needs love. The clasp is frozen, but the pin moves in and out since it’s open. Because of the rust/tarnish, once put in place, it stays there, so it’s wearable.   There’s also a crack in the BAKELITE part of the fish’s head. It’s on the back only; the wood front is unaffected. The brooch appears entirely undamaged from the front.   This is a great piece for the collector on a budget! In perfect condition, these sell in the $200-$350+ range.   NOTE: I’m finding that a crack along the head at this particular spot is not an uncommon occurrence in the fish wood/BAKELITE pieces; I’m not sure why.  Perfect for rockabilly and true vintage lovers…a dream score to wear to the upcoming Viva Las Vegas!  *All BAKELITE items have tested positive with at least TWO of the following: Simichrome, 409, Scrubbing Bubbles AND have passed the sound and/or smell test(s).   As a BAKELITE lover, PLEASE don’t ever trust a listing that reads something like ‘Bakelite?’  Trust me, it’s NOT. BAKELITE is easy, easy, easy to test!   Ask me how if you need help — I’m always open to share information about BAKELITE!*
