Featuring Bermuda Souvenir Script Pin, Scottie Dog Brooch, and Carved Biological Novelty Accents Popularized during the 1940s wartime era and early 1950s tourism boom, these charming novelty pieces showcase the intricate artistry of mid-century folk and souvenir crafts. Era / Period: Circa 1940s – 1950s (Mid-Century Modern / Wartime Novelty Era)Materials: Multi-tone natural hardwoods (including likely Bermuda Cedar and fruitwoods), paint/enamel finishes, and early metal hardware components.Fasteners: Mix of classic safety pins, C-clasps, and threaded vintage screw-backs. Material Adaptation: Carved wooden jewelry saw a massive spike in popularity during WWII. Because base metals were rationed for the military effort, jewelry designers and regional craft industries turned to organic materials like wood, leather, and early plastics (like Bakelite) to meet the demand for novelty accessories. The Bermuda Tourism Connection: Regional souvenir pieces carved from native woods—specifically Bermuda Cedar—are highly collectible niches within the travel memorabilia community. The script pin is an excellent typographical piece of island history.Scottie Dog Motif: The Scottish Terrier was one of the most prolific fashion motifs of the 1930s–1950s, largely popularized by the Roosevelt family's famous dog, Fala. Wooden iterations of this design are fiercely sought after by animal and novelty brooch collectors alike. Pickup category timeslot {A}
