    Hello all and Merry Christmas,

    I've had this for a while and probably even posted on here before or might have been the old ebay boards.
    The largest one is 1".
    On the back is the name Helen and July 1914.
    That's really all I know.
    Were people making plastic in their kitchen in 1914?

    I don't think it is plastic
    Looks more like pressed sawdust

    Wait for other opinions.

    It's definitely some type of plastic.

    Can only say they are not bakelite or celluloid.
