<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 9499835, member: 4727&quot;]Today, I found a napkin dispenser unlike any I’ve seen before. It’s made of a jade green plastic with a marbleized finish, with a spring loaded metal plate inside to push up napkins. On the back, it’s marked “Maplex Toronto”. I’m told it’s made of Bakelite, and dates to the late 1940’s - early 1950’s. Is this plausible? I know Maplex made a lot of melamine kitchenware, but not sure about Bakelite. Still, to my eyes this looks more like Bakelite than melamine. Will be interested in your thoughts!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9nsFTux.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/pQVaIZC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/hKdpNfJ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/qI7SuR3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/WJ9A76R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
