<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 8565, member: 36&quot;]The faint yellow could be good old tobacco smoke. It could be bakelite, horn, lucite....?&nbsp; Is the hole molded or drilled out?&nbsp; Drilled would indicate bakelite, but it&#039;s not definitive.&nbsp; You can always do the hot water test - put this in hot water, pull out and sniff for formaldehyde.&nbsp; There&#039;s no metal and no glue, so hot water won&#039;t hurt it.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can use cream silver polish on a q-tip inside the hole too. Rub hard and the pink polish should turn yellow if it&#039;s bakelite.&nbsp; If you get your nose in there fast enough there&#039;s a smell too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
