Bird Carved Wooden Bird Pin w Snakeskin Vintage Bakelite Era1930's or 40's... the type of one-of-a-kind piece that was being made in bakelite, lucite, and wood... carved by individual artisans, making many of these pieces unique... little works of collectible art. 4-5/8" long x 2-5/8" at the widest. It has a blue rhinestone eye and it's body is covered with a piece of what appears to be snake skin that has a blue to purple hue... probably dyed... or are there snakes that color? The skin edges are covered in the back by a piece of leather. The glue is drying out under both of these and they might need to be re-glued at some point. Back of leather has a lighter oval where a price tag once was. It's in very good condition with exceptions noted. Originally purchased from an estate sale about 20 years ago. It has been in my collection ever since.
