<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 97689, member: 36&quot;]I&#039;ve got a cold, but I can smell the formaldehyde from the bakelite in that lot from here.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie76" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; That greenish heart and the earrings next to it- almost guaranteed.&nbsp; That blue green piece may well be too.&nbsp; The way to be sure, if you don&#039;t already know, is to dampen a q-tip and dip it in baking soda.&nbsp; Rub on the back of the piece.&nbsp; It should come up yellow and raise a formaldehyde smell when you&#039;re rubbing, at least eventually.&nbsp; Tobacco staining won&#039;t cause the smell.&nbsp; You can use cream silver polish too, the same way, or simichrome if the hubs keeps some around.&nbsp; The baking soda is a lot less abrasive.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also seeing what looks like silver filigree hearts and what looks like a really cool mid-century copper brooch.&nbsp; Looks like you scored![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
