<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 1721342, member: 36&quot;]It looks like both are at least partly bakelite.&nbsp; Have you tested with the pink paste silver polish or baking soda yet?&nbsp; Silver polish works, but baking soda is usually handier.&nbsp; Get a cotton swab damp and dunk in baking soda.&nbsp; Rub that on the back of the suspect piece of bakelite, holding close to your nose if possible.&nbsp; Rub hard and take a good sniff.&nbsp; If it&#039;s bakelite there will be a formaldehyde smell and the q-tip should turn yellow or brown.&nbsp; Then wipe the item off.&nbsp; Red bakelite doesn&#039;t test chemically well if at all, so the dogs might not test positive no matter what they are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
