[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 439208, member: 5833"]This one is definitely resin (a generic term that basically comes down to plastic). I'm reasonably confident about the first one, but if you show me the edge the way you did with this last one, I will know for sure.

The deluxe version: [ATTACH=full]154392[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/cameos-show-tell-or-ask-answer.23493/[/URL] As you have time, browse through the Cameos Show & Tell thread.
