BAKELITE Carved HORSE Head Pin Glass Eye BOOK PIECE Deeply Carved Vintage EVCUp for auction is a gorgeous, collector's favorite, vintage Bakelite HORSE head brooch. This pin is larger than pins of this kind, measures 3" diagonally from the tip of the nostril to the edge of the neck. The color is warm root beer - reddish brown, his eye is a clear glass bead with black enamel center. It is resin washed, with deeply carved features and mane.
Brass bridle is well adjusted but one portion of the bridle is not present, condition is excellent vintage as clearly shown in my pictures. Firmly attached locking pin mechanism is good.
Condition is great, bakelite is tested. It is beautiful.
