[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 836729, member: 8184"]Back in the day, when Goodwill didn't know about the internet and bakelite still sold for a king's ransom, I found a red bakelite hat brooch for $5 at Goodwill. Simichrome test came back as bright red as the pin. That's what I said in my ebay listing. Sold it for $354. For collectors, there was zero question that it was a a thermoset phenol formaldehyde resin. I agree with the tagua nut identification.[/QUOTE]
