    I have a wonderful Cameo carved from shell. From an estate in Florida. How how would you think it is? I can't find another one like it. Are these rare?

      Someone loved this enough to salvage a helmet shell cameo that broke around the edges by having all the surrounding background removed, leaving just the very well carved figure. She is of a type common in the 1930s. This is a better example. Sadly, instead of being mounted in a custom setting that would have held her in place with prongs around the edges, someone had a very inexpensive type of pin back attached directly into the cameo, leaving those rivet heads on the front.
