Just discovered your channel. Fantastic info! Thank you. I would add one thing if you’re going to continue on RU-vid and I do hope you do! Please don’t forget your online viewers. It was difficult to see some of the items because they weee so far away from that camera.
I was always told end of the day Bakelite refers to pieces with three or more distinctive colors. Because sometimes the two color ones were done intentionally such as the Green and Yellow which is a pretty common swirled to find. I've seen some pieces with as much as 8 colors in a single piece.
Hi! I loved your class! I’m hoping to find more classes from you. I’m sure it’s already been noted but I just wanted to say (in case you get out on the spot again), you can typically date pins and brooches by the hardware, pin length and construction. Tube hinge or C clasp ect. Just something you can mention so they can research. I’m gonna go find some more of your videos! I have already learned so much just from this class. I do have a question if you get time. Will bakelite that has a clear or lacquer finish still test with the semi-chrome? Thank you
Thank you for all the information! Loved the presenter! Question: I have a set of Sheffield forever sharp knives with kind of tortoise shell design handles. Would they be Bakelite?
spokesperson has very limited knowledge of vintage plastics and has discussed lots of falsehoods about Bakelite - most of the table features Catalin plastic jewelry
