NELLIES VTG CELLULOID HABILLE CAMEO BROOCH

SILVERTONE ART DECO FRAME

Delightfully Wonderful Early 20th Century Celluloid Habille Cameo Brooch set in an Art Deco silvertone frame with an old "C" clasp. Although the quality of the Cameo is excellent and the craftsmanship superb, what you will be struck with is its provenance on the back. It is hand etched on the back with the name "Nellie" and the number 30. This, of course, raises many questions to anyone with a curious mind. Such as "Who was Nellie? Was she someone's wife? or sweetheart? Did she work out of her home, perhaps as a maid or was she a homemaker? Does the number 30 indicate the year, possibly 1930? Was the brooch a gift from her husband, a beau or did she purchase it herself? Or perhaps it was an heirloom passed down to her by her grandmother or her mother? We will never know the answers to these questions but we do know that it must have been a special brooch to Nellie and that she took very good care of it considering the condition it is in.
