This belt is the Bee’s Knees!  It’s just the thing to let fly at your drop waist while you Charleston the night away…

Swanky Art Deco belt of marbled green celluloid links that alternates pressed metal rectangles with a scrolling floral Art Nouveau motif.  Round ball bearing clasp exemplifies the industrial machine age.   Further proof that one era doesn’t come to a screeching halt as soon as the next one arrives.  They often gently overlap one another.  This belt can be worn higher up on a larger waist or lower on a more moderate hip, as it was originally intended.  Links can easily be removed to adjust length.

Measurements

Belt adjusts from 40 to 45.5 inches in wearable length.

Celluloid links are 1.5 inches wide and .5 inches tall.

Small stamped metal links measure 1.25 inches by .75 inches.

Condition

Minor surface scratching throughout.  There may have originally been some extra ornamentation on the medallions as they have metal rivets at the top and bottom.  One connecting link is slightly bent.  There are two extra connecting links.  One on the clasp and one on the rings the clasp connects to.
