It's NOT Bakelite. It didn't test. The base looks like carved Bakelite but it's probably Lucite. The cameo floats free and is plastic. The cameo head is slightly warped as you can see from the photos. Pinback has safety catch that works fine. Comes in a gift box.

IT'S NOT THAT YOU WEAR BROOCHES, IT'S HOW YOU WEAR THEM! See photo montages for edgy ideas.

This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in Northfield, OH.
