Pair of 1940s Butterscotch Bakelite Dress Clips french pin These bits of "lapel loot"This vintage pair of butterscotch Bakelite dress clips have been artfully carved in the shape of a leaf and acorn. The clips are mirror images, because they were meant to be worn as a pair, at a neckline, on a blouse, etc. There are no obvious chips in either clip. The clip mechanisms are tight and work well. Each clip measures 1 3 4" tall and 1" wide.
