It is the look of the edge that pushes me in the direction of natural material; it has a Schreger-y look to me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Could well have been salvaged. My sense is that the necklace is a bit older than OBB reckons. I would have guessed 1950s, more beatnik/Bohemian than hippie. Celluloid fell out of use as other plastics that were less flammable came along. Of course, could be a shard of repurposed Celluloid, but I'm sticking with the I-word, just to be contrary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
