    This brooch is a mystery to me.
    I think its handmade in the fourties or fifties. It looks like it is made from some pieces of galalith, some bycicle parts and some other bits and pieces.
    Its big: about 8cm lenght in total.
    I have a similar one with mother of pearl and plastic pieces. I think someone just had these pieces laying around in house and made this brooch. I won't wear it but I love it.
    Has anyone seen something like this?

      Cool! I just started a small collection of cake servers recently. They are great when you have a birthday. And my youngest daughter is turning four years old in a few weeks so they will come in handy.
      You should really do something with those handles. i would love to see what you make out of them.

      Wow! I'm speechless on this one. I kinda see a tennis racket??? Maybe an award?
      I like the idea of repurposing as we'll but I have no talent for it and certainly no patience!
      Valentino, my idea would be to make a "sun ray" clock with your handles.

      Val, I love the idea of a mobile... I have a large box full of jewelry bits and pieces too, and one of these years my plan is to make other "non-jewelry" things out of them... I just run out of time every day. Wish there were 48 in every day!!!
