BUTLER & WILSON VINTAGE AMERICAN INDIAN HEAD BROOCH - WHITE METAL WITH BLACK & WHITE DIAMANTE

I do like some of the vintage Butler & Wilson costume jewellery.  I have never seen this American Indian head brooch.  It has a very smooth face with an elaborate headdress (which has black and white square and round diamante glass stones) and a textured back with the B & W logo.  Looks 80/90s.  Very well made with a lot of detail on the headdress.Quite large at approx 2 1/2 x 2 inches.  Someone has obviously looked after it as it is in very good condition.  Ref: 3002 C52/10 Price £88

BAKELITE & CELLULOID FLOWER NECKLACE - ART DECO PERIOD

Back to one of my favourite topics - bakelite and Art Deco.  This bakelite necklace has 3 flowers in brownish bakelite with the central flower having a red centre.  (See full description on my web site).  The chains are celluloid - both cream and light brown.  Would fit up to a 17 inch neck size.  This is in such good condition for a piece that must be 70-80 years old!  I hope I will be when I reach 80!
