Description
This pin from the 1930s has a lovely Victorian lady "cameo" of black celluloid attached to a background of black galalith, carved into leaves and balls. The workmanship on the plastics looks nice, but a rather cheap modern pinback was glued onto the pin at some point in the past. Other than the pinback not being original, the pin is in excellent condition, with a few tiny dings to the smooth surface of the cameo from normal wear. The leaves carved into the galalith look like marijuana leaves--rather unusual!
