<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9737119, member: 76316&quot;]I thought I had shared these here, but a search didn&#039;t find them...my apology if they have been seen here previously.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had them quite awhile, maybe 30 years. I don&#039;t think I paid much for &#039;em. Twice, when offered on eBay by a friend who dealt in higher-end baubles internationally, they were bid up to a little over $500. Both times, separated by a few months, the (foreign) bidders failed to complete the sale, an&#039; my friend didn&#039;t offer them to the next higher bidder...so they remain in my possession. All this happened in about 2015 or so. One of the bidders was in Turkey, the other in Pakistan, iirc.</p><p><br /></p><p>They do test as Bakelite, with both 409 &amp; Simichrome. Note the missing male-half of the closure. Their color, in sunlight, is a brilliant cherry-red, darkly transparent (or lightly translucent?)</p><p><br /></p><p>The previous listings were identical, an&#039; used the term Faturan in the description. What little I know about that leads me to doubt they are...bwdik?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m gonna list them myself, an&#039; the listing will be freshly written with my own description. Your observations an&#039; comments will be most helpful in that regard...an&#039; I thank y&#039;all for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]475333[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]475334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]475335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]475336[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
