<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 857820, member: 5833"]Meant to suggest ivory, of course, but definitely plastic. Not Celluloid or that family of materials. Doesn't have the faintly matte quality I associate with Bakelite. Lots of other formulations for plastic, doubt pinning down which one this is matters. Going by good quality of the plastic vs. poor quality of metal pin assembly & the way it has been attached, would say it is WWII era. She's very pretty, could do with a clean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
