<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 8231018, member: 36"]It hasn't yellowed enough to be bakelite; clear bakelite oxidizes into something called "apple juice" yellow. This is some sort of acrylic or lucite. Both of which can be carved. It may not be horribly old; pieces made a similar way were around from the mid-50s to most likely last week. The color is pretty standard and only tells me this isn't one of the newer ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
