[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 6645029, member: 78949"][SIZE=4]To me it also looks bakelite. I am no expert but as far as I know, lucite is much lighter than bakelite so if the piece is relatively heavy for its size, it cannot be lucite. Any cleaner for oven or stove (whatever trade mark) should do the testing job. Baking soda might be not strong enough to remove the patina and transfer it to the cotton tip. Very nice brooch, IMO![/SIZE][/QUOTE]
