Does anyone know what these two items could have been used for? Did they
come off of something? I am not sure if they are bakelite or not. Thank
you in advance.
Hopefully someone can help me identify the age and material of these and
what they would have been used for. I have two they are 2 1/4 inches by
2 inches. Do you know what they came off of or used for? Thank you in
advance for any information.
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this or not. I have
this medallion and hope I can post a picture with it to see who the
person is on the front of the medallion.
I did as silverstatetreasureboxes said to do and rubbed it vigorously
and a bad smell came from it. Celluloid has no smell when rubbed, does
it. Would that mean these are bakelite?
Looks like a home made piece. Made for a person that needed to measure
something small. Hard to tell the age without seeing the side of the
drawers and underneath the piece. Could of been made in the 50's to the
70's.
Have you tried to take out the sticks? It could possibly be a fancy
Spill. A spill was kept by a fireplace to start a fire or to light a
lamp with small sticks or reeds.
