<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 1566359, member: 5398&quot;]How did you test for Bakelite? I&#039;ve read that testing <b>black</b> Bakelite with Simichrome, 409, etc. doesn&#039;t show a yellowish color. I&#039;m not an authority on Bakelite, but I do have a small collection of bracelets, and in my opinion the thickness and carving of your bracelet look typical for Bakelite. However, of the two Bakelite bracelets I have with hinges, one has the ends of the hinge pushed into the cut ends of the bracelet, and the other has a hinge like yours but the rivets have a hole in the center. I have a 60&#039;s-era hinged Lucite bracelet that has a hinge exactly like yours with the rounded rivets. In any case, I&#039;m still thinking yours looks like Bakelite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
