<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 543196, member: 51&quot;]There are many, many 1940s Bakelite horse brooches out there, horses were a popular figural pin in Bakelite. Bakelite will have a carved appearance, as Evelyb points out this one is molded, so probably some base plastic, does not appear to be Celluloid or Catalin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note was just searching Ebay for horse pins just to see what the going rates were. </p><p><br /></p><p>I sold this exact style pin in 1990 for $275.&nbsp;&nbsp; This one sold last week for $65.&nbsp; Prices for certain Bakelite pieces are certainly down, if you add inflation on top of that, quite a shift.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/BAKELITE-Vintage-Carved-3-Horse-Head-Pin-Brooch-Gold-Metal-Chain/254084768042?hash=item3b28a1e12a:g:1t8AAOSwvdFcRLbf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/BAKELITE-Vintage-Carved-3-Horse-Head-Pin-Brooch-Gold-Metal-Chain/254084768042?hash=item3b28a1e12a:g:1t8AAOSwvdFcRLbf" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/BAKELITE-Vintage-Carved-3-Horse-Head-Pin-Brooch-Gold-Metal-Chain/254084768042?hash=item3b28a1e12a:g:1t8AAOSwvdFcRLbf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
