This oversized faux tortoise shell locket is such a fun piece! Circa 1890s, it is a made of celluloid--and early, plant-based plastic--and comes on a long, chunky chain.

The locket slides open rather than having a hinge that opens on one side like a more typical locket. It includes two photographs that have been pasted inside.

+++ Measurements +++

2 3/4" x 1 7/8"

26" chain length

+++ Condition +++

Lovely condition overall with some minor age-related wear.

Some crazing in the celluloid links, as shown in the photos. It seems sturdy, however I recommend handling and wearing with some care.
