Antique 1930s Carlsbad Caverns Souvenir Painted Enamel Oval Pendant Cabochon — National Park Travel Collectible This is a wonderful and rare piece of American travel souvenir history. The oval piece features a hand-painted enamel scene over a silver-tone metal base depicting the dramatic underground formations of Carlsbad Caverns — the deep black cavern ceiling above and the intricate brown, tan, cream, and olive stalactite and stalagmite formations below. The scalloped silver tone edge gives it a decorative coin or medallion feel. Consistent in style and technique with souvenir jewelry and keepsakes produced for national park visitors in the 1930s and 1940s. Could be displayed, framed, or added to a souvenir or national park collection. Pre-war American souvenir pieces like this are increasingly hard to find. 1.75"
