EARLY PLASTIC DISPLAY IN MY SHOP AT ALFIES ANTIQUES

I have just spent and after tidying my display of early plastics - including bakelite, celluloid and galalith.  Unable to show more than one section in this picture - just the yellow, brown, orange hues.  The other colours - and the bangles - are on a different shelf space.  Also on the shelf are some metal, glass and wood items.  I can see bakelite necklaces, dress clips and earrings.  some celluloid brooches.  A yellow fabric bag with a celluloid top, some wooden bead brooches, Deco earrings, dog brooches and lots of assorted earrings.  I just love this period of costume jewellery and always try to have a good selection.  This of course are in just one of the many cabinets I have in the shop.  People thing Alfies is difficult to get to - but it is really quite easy - being near to St. Marylebone and Edgeware Road underground stations.  The 139 and 189 buses stop very near- as do the buses along the Edgeware Road.  The Rooftop Cafe sells excellent coffee and cakes and on a good day you can sit outside.  Would love to meet you so do pay a visit if you are a Deco fan!
