<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4315899, member: 5833&quot;]Another thing to look for when trying to distinguish a resin cameo from one cut in helmet shell is whether there is any curvature to the piece as a whole.&nbsp; Although there are occasional exceptions, shell will have some degree of curve; resin will be flat the way these are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think they are all bacchantes.&nbsp; Don&#039;t all have grape leaves in their hair?</p><p><br /></p><p>With my limited knowledge, trying to think of at what time did the modernity of the plastic intersect with a maker who still cared about making the cameos look like very good 19th century ones.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t Incolay, which is highly durable.&nbsp; Pieces from the 60s that have not been abused still look like new.&nbsp; My loose estimate is that this is post-WWII, pre-1960.</p><p><br /></p><p>The jump rings holding the two parts of the clasp do not look the same age as the others, so clasp probably replacement.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen this type of clasp used for a bracelet, for the obvious reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
