It was a gorgeous deep brown color, with cream trimmings and a cloth mesh over the speaker. I remember being fascinated that there were push buttons that switched the station directly, because they had been preset. I'd never seen a radio like that. Sadly, after my grandma's death, the house was emptied and sold and I have no idea what happened to that wonderful radio. Bakelite has such a beautiful look to it, almost a glow, and it would be nice to still have that radio as a memory of her.

I had a lot of genuine bakelite jewelry. How foolish of me to get rid of it all years ago ... I now see it on sale in antique stores locally, for remarkably high prices. And incidentally, yes, I do find it ever so slightly offensive to see the vintage bakelite jewelry that I bought as a young woman being sold in "antique" stores ... I may be a little older than some people, but I certainly don't think I'm an antique! When I was younger than I am now (I won’t go into the details of my age).

I will have to put it on my radar of things to look for at yard sales and flea markets. Vintage Bakelite Jewelry, yet another niche market on eBay. eBay rocks!

It's all genuine Bakelite stock and you're right, the fake Bakelite doesn't compare with really high-quality vintage Bakelite jewelry.

I have fond memories of the stuff from my childhood. I am sure my grandmother had several pair of earrings from the stuff. I remember that distinctive sound of Bakelite clinking together. I know my mom had a purse with a bakelite handle. Now you make me want to go to the thrift stores and find a piece of memorable Bakelite! Frank, I had no idea Bakelite was that old!

Vintage Bakelite jewelry is just one example. My parents love going to auctions where they can buy stuff like bakelite pieces and resell them in antique store booths and online. Hi Lissie,

You find a new collectable every day don't you. I associate Vintage Bakeite with those old brittle electic kettles which you probably have never seen if you are under 40. I also have some old furniture with vinage bakeite handles. You have some quite attractive bakelite here though :I might consider Collecting Vintage Bakelite Lissie Collecting Vintage Bakelite!
