1940's

This classic sword brooch was made in the 1940's likely during when the Arabian Nights movie craze struck the American public.  We are unsure of the plastic, but it is possibly lucite.

Condition: Very good with some stress to the darts at the back neckline as well as some holes at both sleeves' cuffs. I would recommend having the sleeves shortened by 1/2" to fix this. Because of the repairs that are needed, this is reflected in the price.

Condition: Very Good. A few spots on the ruffles- one that is on the neckline and one that is on the back ruffles; they are easily concealed by being made into a tuck as there is so much volume in those areas.
