Bakelite manicure set, 1930s | Photo and text by galessa’s plastics “This Art Deco set was originally black and white, but Bakelite is prone to oxidation and many of the colors we see today are completely different from the original ones. These pieces were machined and the set is unmarked but was bought in England. Probably made between the 1930s and the 1940s.”
