<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9439603, member: 33"]The book <i>Plastic Jewelry of the 20th Century </i>by Lillian Baker has a lot of in-depth information on identification. I have a copy of the book, which discusses, for example, that in 1935 a "German patent was taken out for ornamentation of molded plastic articles." However, I don't know if the molds being referred to here were the sheets, rods, and blocks, or something more unusual. When you wrote "molded into shapes" I think you are referring to unusual shapes such as the front and back of the bird pins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
