Plastic Owl Pin

Well, I do not know much about this tiny pin other than I adore it!  I am a big fan of the owl motif.  There are no marks on this piece, but my feelings is that it is from the 1970s, when the owl motif was extremely popular.  It may be made from bakelite (the first synthetic plastic invented in 1907 which is highly collectible today) but I am not exactly sure.  If anyone has additional information on this piece I would greatly appreciate it.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on www.rubylane.com is coming soon.
