Vintage Red Celluloid Valentine Pin
Heart Swivel Locket Brooch

This charming vintage novelty pin is a classic piece of mid-century holiday jewelry, likely dating from the 1940s to 1950s. Crafted from bright red celluloid, the brooch features a heart-on-heart design with a swivel mechanism. The top heart serves as a protective cover that pivots to reveal a hidden square compartment intended for a small keepsake photograph, making it a sentimental Valentine's Day token.

• Design: Embossed "BE MY VALENTINE" text on the front swivel heart
• Functionality: Pivoting cover reveals a dedicated photo window or secret compartment
• Attachment: Integrated pin-back mechanism for wear on clothing or accessories


Condition: The celluloid is in good vintage condition with a vibrant red color and no cracks or major chips. The swivel mechanism remains intact and moves freely. The pin-back is secure and functional. Surface shows light age-appropriate scuffing and minor wear typical of vintage plastic jewelry.
