CAMEO
style purple glass pate de verre brooch in an intricate and artistic
silver 2-1/2" setting, circa 1900. The setting is fashioned so that it
cleverly holds the high-relief cameo without prongs. The lady in the
cameo is really lovely and serene with a slight smile and curling hair.
The setting is just wonderful workmanship with a cross, leaves and tiny
flowers, as well as a collar she wears with a beaded edge.

Note: We have now seen a clip like this marked "Sandor" on the back side,
and I wonder if Sandor made jewelry for Block, or vice-versa. We have also
seen the faces called Lucite, but when we test ours with Simichrome, we do
get a bit of yellow.

SANDOR silver and bakelite
face fur clip circa 1940s, 2-1/2" by 2-1/4". The green face
