But no guarantee this particular piece is in there, but would sure be fun reading. Better still would be to somehow find the online Fall and Winter catalog that was referenced from 1977.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as Lucite or not, wouldn't do any testing to see whether Lucite, and have to say I've never heard of a Lucite test. Maybe the test just rules other things out and could be damaging. In the end I don't think it adds value to the piece to know one way or the other. (If there was a question whether Bakelite, then yes do the Bakelite test.) I think people usually associate Lucite with clear plastic, but since all the other ads for this Emmons line say "Lucite" maybe they know something, if selling you would probably be fine to say "Lucite or another vintage plastic." </p><p><br /></p><p>It's a cool piece and great you have a date for it.
