<p>[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 364219, member: 4864"]Every so often, I find interesting plastic jewelry. Problem is, I have no idea if it's bakelite or what. I rubbed these pieces with a q-tip sprayed with some 409 cleaner. No reaction on the bangle. The necklace's q-tip darkened a small amount it looked like, but it's not that yellow streak that's apparently supposed to appear on bakelite. The necklace has a vintage ring clasp. Any idea what kind of plastic these pieces are?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]124614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]124615[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
