Black Bakelite Dress Clips, Wire-Wrapped, Art Deco Style, Bakelite Jewelry

Description

I love the no frills, almost masculine design of these bullet-shaped Bakelite clips. The contrast between the dark Bakelite and the brass wire is also quite dramatic. The clips are spiral carved with a shallow groove that holds the wire in place.
The clips measure 3/8" long x 1 7/16" wide x just under 1/4" thick. They test positive with Simichrome.
Condition is excellent overall with just negligible surface patina. The wire is clean, bright, and completely secure. The silvertone clip hardware functions just fine and has no issues other than a small spot of rust which you can see in the pics. See pic 5 for what looks like a scratch or possibly a light surface hairline crack that runs along the back of one of the clips. It's faint to see, and not deep enough to feel.
