I cannot find out any information on this very large cardboard 8 sided box. It has some great Black Americana Graphics on it. Also flat packs so can post easily and be reconstructed for display whereever.
Measures approx - 14" Tall and 12" Wide
Offered is a rarely found, Ca 1920s, celluloid mourning pin back brooch featuring a young African American man.
Constructed of celluloid with a metal back and pin to allow attachment to one's clothing, this diminutive mourning pin measures just 7/8th inch in diameter.
The image remains quite crisp with surface crackling of the celluloid that does not effect the integrity of the overall structure of the pin...
Offered is a rarely found, Ca 1890s, celluloid and brass mourning brooch featuring a handsome, young African American man.
Housed in an ornate, brass frame, the mourning pin measures 1 1/8th inch in diameter.
The celluloid image is quite crisp with some staining evident in left lower and side edges that do not obstruct the gentleman's image. The magnified photos emphasize this staining to a much greater degree than what is evident when viewed with just the naked eye...
Offered is a rarely found, Ca 1890s, tintype mourning brooch featuring a young and attractive, African American woman.
Housed in an ornate, brass frame complete with backside pin to allow attachment to one's clothing, the mourning pin measures 1 3/16th inch in diameter.
The image is quite clean and crisp with a very tiny imperfection noted on the image just above the woman's head at the frame edge.

Really nice look with plenty of age.
This would hang on the kitchen wall and you can put a pencil/pen through one of the hands and the paper would be stuck to apron. Someone has some point has stuck an old kitchen related card to it I would say.
There is crack running through, near the top of the apron, but nothing comes away and seems to have been repaired many years ago...
Nicely made piece, I am presuming here that this is for some kind of incense, there is a hole at the side of the head where you would put your incense and smoke would then come out of the eyes...
