The piece exhibits a pronounced camphor scent, consistent with authentic celluloid. Lightweight with a slightly translucent surface.

The pinback has been reset to ensure secure wear; orientation differs from original placement. Overall condition is very good for age, with minor surface wear consistent with vintage celluloid.
