<p>[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 9551011, member: 2027"]The first has a wood base/background and is about 1 3/4" long and 1 1/4" wide. the cameo itself feels like it is made of celluloid. Some of the finish is gone on the tops of the pearly beads. 1940's-1950's?</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is a pendant and sits in filigree frame (as yet uncleaned). I thought at first the warrior was carved MOP but then I read the earlier thread about MOP cameos coming into fashion later and the setting on this one looks early. The back looks pinkish so possibly another shell was used? It is 1 3/4" long and 1 1/4" wide including the frame. I have no guesses on age so I would appreciate help on the material and date. </p><p><br /></p><p>As always, thanks so much for looking and pointing me in right direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455485[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]455487[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455488[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455489[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455490[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
