[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 4349627, member: 17467"]Hello again, Finally I have a little time to post the recent findings. I had a look with a magnifying glass, and the hair and arm looks like chopped wood, it even has a little brown to the edges. Furthermore , there are some bubbles on the arms and chest, but because it is highly polished, can’t be seen without a magnifying glass. Lastly, I have cleaned it and also used a tiny little simicrome on the sides where the frame was, it did come back as yellow brown. I did not test it with hot water. I don’t know if it can be Bakelite, but it does look worn and old. The seller told me it was set in a high carat gold frame, I can only presume that whatever the material used in Cameo, must be precious. Thank you all for your opinions. Please feel free to add comments to this post. Thank you.
