Ivorine ,Ivory and bone.
This collection has been added to over many years.
The two top buckles belonged to my grandmother and are Ivorine which is a type of Bakelite .
They are beautifully carved with roses and flowers.
The square box in the middle is a puzzle picked up at a deceased estate along with the ivory child's teeth hand carved I think in the Japanese Nechkie tradition.
In the middle of the picture is one of my favourite brooches of Charlie Mac Carthy who was Edgar Bergen's dummy he was a popular entertainer in the 1930s and 1940s and also Candice Bergen's father.
Its a really sweet little brooch with all his details on the back.Not well known here in Australia but very popular with our American friends.
Cheers Lyn
