Novelty Bracelet Appraisal

Super Model Slap Bracelet

This appears to be a novelty slap bracelet, likely made in the late 20th century, possibly the 1990s, given the 'Super Model' text and overall aesthetic. The bracelet is constructed from a flexible metal strip encased in a soft, pliable material, characteristic of slap bracelets. The primary color of the band is a vibrant purple, edged with a thinner yellow border, which creates a visible contrast. Running down the length of the bracelet are the words "SUPER MODEL" in a light blue or teal font, outlined in purple, giving it a playful, almost bubbly appearance. Interspersed with the text are small, raised details. There are at least two sets of red, stylized lips, and several clusters of what appear to be red, oval-shaped beads or coffee beans. At one end, two metal studs are visible, which typically serve as part of the internal mechanism that allows the bracelet to snap around the wrist. At the opposite end, a single circular metal stud is present, possibly a decorative element or part of the internal structure. The surface shows some minor wear consistent with use, such as slight scuffs or discoloration on the purple material, but no significant damage like tears or breaks are immediately apparent. The overall condition suggests it has been used but is still largely intact. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced novelty items, focusing on bright colors and clear text rather than intricate detail or high-end materials. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures.
