Enlarge photo 26 Haskell unsigned "daisy" flower necklace
Circa 1930s

Early Haskell necklace of white "daisies" made of white tube beads wrapped around metal forms and with yellow beads in each center.  The irregular layout is typical of Frank Hess designs.  All of the flowers are sewn to pale green silk cord and the clasp is a large dark green glass bead.

Haskell started making this line in the early 1930s (as evidenced by ads in Women's Wear Daily and the following advertisement, but it appears the line was made up into the WWII era.

some slight differences in this watercolor from #572, but basically the same.

Enlarge photo 39 Wrap bracelet and unusual silk cord belt.  Haskell was extremely patriotic and, according to Deanna Farnetti Cera's book, created these for the New York World's Fair held in 1939.  I believe that these were created during the early 1940s during WWII.  Made of natural and painted mother-of-pearl in red, white and blue tones.  See additional examples in Cera, pg 32.  Unsigned Haskell.
