<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 504583, member: 5398"]Maybe celluloid? Here are two vintage buttons that have a pearlized look and I've always called them celluloid, but I'm not an expert. Celluloid does tend to deteriorate if stored where air can't circulate, and maybe that's what is happening to the back of your brooch. If your brooch is celluloid, it shouldn't be stored in a plastic bag or tightly sealed container, or near other celluloid items that are starting to deteriorate because they emit gases that can cause the other items to deteriorate.
