BAKELITE1001L

Vintage Bakelite Bracelet, L

Very nice olive green vintage bakelite bracelet probably produced in Germany in the 1920s. 2.50" inner diameter & 1/2" thick with geometric/floral design work. Image depicts top and 3/4 view of bracelet.

Bakelite was one of the first plastics made from synthetic components. Bakelite was used for its electrically non-conductive properties (for telephones and radios), toys, eating utensils, and, in our case, jewelry.
