<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 254637, member: 36"]My guess is reverse-carved and painted Lucite/Perspex. It was a craft taught to GIs in rehab hospitals and it later became popular as a craft for a lot of other people and as a manufactured item. Odds are this is a little later than the 40s, but it's gorgeous. I'd have jumped all over that and the blue john, which NEVER turns up here in the USA. I've found one small piece in the last decade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
