    Welcome Lynche.
    Just checking, you mean cherry amber bakelite, right? Not actual cherry amber?

    Bakelite is cheap from China.

    Most of what is written about older stuff online is lies made up to sell it.

    Cheap stuff from China isn't real. The OP is after the real deal.

    I have a whole box at my store of random vintage game parts. I know that I probably have dice in there - possibly red bakelite.
    What I was asking was if the OP was collecting pairs only, even if it's multiple pairs.

    Maybe he wants to go to Pair-a-Dice? (sorry, that one was too bad to pass up)

    It is absolutely real phenol formaldehyde.

    It wasn't made pre-WWII and bakelite collectors are generally only interested in pieces older than they are. It may be made with formaldehyde, but it can't be the real deal no matter what if it's not the proper age. I happen to like some of the fakelite pieces, but not because they're "real".
