[QUOTE="KSW, post: 961617, member: 8708"][ATTACH=full]204266[/ATTACH] Damaged and ugly and 10p from a car boot sale :hilarious:but from a little research, possibly a rarity. I find new (to me) materials fascinating. Galalith was a new term to me until I looked up Ebena. Made in Belgium, They made Bakelite too but this is not like any Bakelite I’ve seen. Only in production 1921 to early 30s. Very thick walls and heavy for its size. Chipped at the back and lost all it’s gilding so it’s a bit sad. Does anyone know anything about Galalith to be able to ID this box please?. Apparently made with milk casein and formaldehyde:yuck: Thankyou :) [ATTACH=full]204260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]204261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]204262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]204263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]204264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]204265[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
