<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 6761260, member: 51"]Enlarging the photo of the large central red bead, I don't think the plastic is Bakelite. There is some light surface (aging?) going on, and I think would be more likely to see that with Galalith. And Galalith was used as a plastic a lot in the 1930s in Germany, etc. I don't think matters for value as Galalith is also collected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hops... Pinecones... snake-like, too! Snake scales, or even armor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love pieces like this because they have a tactile appeal as well. It's a real beauty. Also nice it's on a metal chain. It's never going to break apart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
