<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1200061, member: 5833"]The cameo itself may be Celluloid or similar & the frame around it Bakelite or another hard plastic. Where did you apply the cleanser that the cotton came away yellow? It looks to me like the cameo now has a combination of dirt along with pigment that was deliberately applied to the surface for contrast. Both are likely to be water soluble. Be very careful what you apply where. I would not try to clean it. The Bakelite fans will be along.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
