Last one -- CRAZY jangly bracelet

[Jonathan]

I paid a good bit of money for this piece (or what I thought was a good bit of money at the time...) I think it was $65.00, and I bought it 30 years ago. It's very 'Hollywood poolside' looking to me, but upon closer inspection I think its ivory. I do see a VERY fine grain to the pieces. I originally thought it was plastic and never thought much about it, but it's definitely organic -- it might be bone, but its VERY fine: The large pieces are 2 1/2 inches long.

Well, I can say this....I LOVE it!

Reminds me of a Ming (of Hawaii) bracelet I had many moons ago.

I see Josephine Baker. But, i have no idea of what it is and when.

Does the cording stretch?

 

[Jonathan]

The cording is over-stretched - it was elastic but its all shot.

Some celluloid has a grain, however, if it's dense in weight, then it could very well be some type of animal ivory or possibly tagua nut.

The other thing that comes to mind is galalith. Whenever I come across those early plastics as stretch bracelets, the elastic cording is almost always shot.
