<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 124422, member: 33&quot;]I think it&#039;s probably ceramic or plaster (as somebody else suggested), but can&#039;t tell for sure. Remember that the first plastic material was celluloid, and it was developed in the 1860s, right around the time of this case&#039;s manufacture. From the photos I do not think this cameo is made of celluloid.</p><p><br /></p><p>From that last photo on the side, I think the red background might be painted on. If so, maybe the entire thing was one color, with paint applied?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
