Featured Bakelite earrings - or not?

I have just acquired three pairs of vintage earrings and think they may be Bakelite. I tried the hot water test with all three and they each have a faint odour - smells like Vicks vapour rub to me. I also tried baking soda but not sure how good a test it actually is - the long red drops left a pink stain on the cotton bud and the other two a very faint yellowish colour.
I think (hope!) that the round faceted drops may be Prystal. The oval ones seem like cherry amber Bakelite & the long red ones look and also have the "feel" of Bakelite - they have a few dinks and surface scratches and clunk together like Bakelite (the hooks appear to be much newer). One is slightly larger than the other.
I know Simichrome is used for testing Bakelite but would any other chrome polish do just as well?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Nice dangles!
409 cleaner also works as a Q-tip rub.

 

I use Simichrome polish, this is what a positive test looks like:

 

Yes, thanks - do you think any brand of chrome polish would work?

 

Thanks for that. I've never seen 409 in the UK but we must have an equivalent so I'll investigate!

 

I’ve used Maas in the past.

 

Oops...sorry! I failed to consider your location.

I have too, with success.

 

I use good old sodium bicarbonate and a damp q-tip or similar; unlike a lot of chemicals it sometimes works on red bakelite. If you're getting a Vicks smell, you may well have celluloid instead. A lot of tests don't work on the red bakelites for whatever reason, and sometimes they give a false negative.

 

I wonder if Autosol would work? I’ve got some kicking around, I might try it as that’s easily found in the UK.

 

If you have some pink silver polish try that, but I would test a piece of known Bakelite to make sure it works

 

Thanks everyone.
I thought we must have some Autosol in the garage so went a-rummaging only to find an ancient tube that had completely dried up!
Found Maas online in Lakeland but when I tried to place an order it had been discontinued!
I do have some pink silver polish so will give that a go.
