[QUOTE="Rufus@frockstarvintage, post: 317996, member: 5939"]DAG - typed this comment last night & [I][B]thought [/B][/I]I hit [B]post[/B] but reckon not - so a bit out of context maybe - OP are they more red or brown? In my experience bead seams usually run vertically. Not seeing seams here (can't say I've seen beads with that horizontal buffed or polished center section though). Bakelite colors in jewelry are predominantly food related with a few exceptions. Here's an ebay guide with color list (scroll past the buttons) [URL]http://www.ebay.com/gds/A-Guide-to-Bakelite-Color-/10000000205120653/g.html[/URL] I'd have thought the color closest to "Root Beer" but not seeing black swirls so maybe "Rust"....?[/QUOTE]
