RARE Vintage 1930s Carved Black & Red Bakelite CHESS KING Heraldic Brooch PIN

For sale here is a fine vintage 1930s 40s hand carved marbled red and black Bakelite Chess King heraldic design brooch pin. These Bakelite Chess pieces are almost always in bone or butterscotch and black Bakelite, and it's rare to find one in another color especially red.

Measures 2-5/8" by 1-1/2" at widest point. Guaranteed to be genuine vintage 1930s 40s Bakelite, not a reproduction or re-make from old parts. Excellent vintage condition with fine light wear and some tarnish to metal section as shown - see my photos for closeups. Please read my terms and'fine print' below.
