Beautifully carved vintage brooch features a waterbird -- looks like a swan or maybe a heron -- in swimming posture with a backdrop of leaves. This brooch is a chocolate brown color, and guaranteed to be vintage bakelite (easily passing the Simichrome test, and possessing the distinctive bakelite fragrance). The carving is quite detailed, with feathers and leaf veins visible, and there is also a bit of openwork. Two-part metal pinback is embedded in the back. 3" wide; excellent condition. - $120
