Vintage plastic baby rattle

[sindac]

Hello,

Can you tell me what type of plastic this baby rattle is made out of?  It is oval or egg shaped with little swirls that go in an upward direction.

Someone told me it might be French.

Looks like celluloid.

Probably bakelite or lucite....I had beads with a similar grain... check here, a link for vintage plastics. Good luck!

The link to the plastics no longer works.

the striations make me think bone or ivory. IMHO. Good luck

Hi there....those were made purposely to imitate Ivory.... as I said I have had beads that looked much like that. Lovely yellowish patina too !!
