Vintage Art Deco Style Plastic Sailboat Brooch – Nautical Pin – Possibly Bakelite

Charming vintage brooch featuring a whimsical sailboat motif suspended from a round medallion top. Crafted from early plastic, this piece displays classic mid-century color blocking with a deep charcoal/blue disk, a raised red center dot, and a yellow sailboat with blue detailing. The playful yet graphic design strongly reflects Art Deco to early Mid-Century modern styling. The material is consistent with early plastics and may be Bakelite, though it has not been chemically tested. Surface wear, gentle scuffs, and age-appropriate patina are present and consistent with vintage use, adding to its authenticity and charm. The brooch fastens securely with a traditional pin-back clasp.
