A rarity in vintage bakelite, a Christmas pin. This 2 1/2" tall angel appears in most all of the bakelite jewelry books*. It is sometimes attributed to Martha Sleeper, but I guess we will never know for sure. She is a cutie, with her articulated brass wings (they wiggle by design), brass halo, groove-carved hair & skirt, and hand painted facial features. Very sweet. Heat set, locking pinback. *See page 132 BAKELITE JEWELRY by Pena; also page 120 of BAKELITE PINS by Karmina Parry.
