HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Contrary to popular belief, most "carved" celluloid floral bracelets of the 1930's and 1940's were not really carved at all. The celluloid (cellulose acetate) material was manufactured in sheets and the design molds were pressed into the material while it was still warm. The floral designs were created in strips. You will most likely spot repeating pattern, a seam, or both if you closely inspect a bracelet in question. You want to find evidence of a seam as it is a characteristic and clue that you have an authentic old "carved" celluloid bangle.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
