Scotties were the most popular dog breed in the US in the 1930s at least partially due to President Roosevelt's dog Fala, and of course Toto from the Wizard of Oz. A charming vintage 1930s 40s handmade reverse carved and painted lucite Scottie Dog design brooch. Entirely handmade Scottie Dog brooch design that is one of the most recognizable designs of its time in Bakelite and Lucite jewelry from that era! In the 1930s there were two extremely famous Scotties: Fala the First Dog belonging to President Roosevelt, and Toto who went with Dorothy to see the Wizard of Oz. Measures 3" tall by 2-7/8" wide. A painted yellow glass 'eye'! Unmarked as expected and as was the norm for most American plastic jewelry of the period, along with an inset pin mechanism at back also as expected. Excellent vintage condition.
