Uncle Sam Patriotic Jan Carlin Figural Cribtoy Style Brooch utilizing vintage Bakelite methods and materials

Purchased personally from the artist. I am happy to present this wonderfully fun and rare Uncle Sam "crib toy" by artist Jan Carlin.
Jan Carlin is the foremost Bakelite jewelry designer recycling vintage lucite and bakelite pieces into fine Retro pieces of jewelry. She has been known to set her pieces with real diamonds and gold. This guy wearing a stylized Uncle Sam hat consists of a triangular shaped bodice with an enamel American flag and red washer belt ring with a dangle at the waist a domed round shaped lower abdomen. Amazing rootbeer tube legs capped with laminated striped caps and football shaped feet, the photos show it all! Including the cute hat with the dice attached.8 inches tall, his head is 1.5 inches across. This guy has a sweet personality, and one can easily see the allure of his google eyes and vintage hat he has to advanced collectors. Iris Apfel had many of Jan's creations in her incredible collection. He is a very large statement piece indeed and sits just as well as a decorative item on a shelf as he does upon one's lapel.

I have a new collection of about a dozen of these recently acquired from Jan Carlin that will be listed this week.

I use small doll stands to display my Jan Carlin Figurals. I can provide the information to order them.
