Thanks sapphire! Anyone else who may know anything about this please pass on the info. It might be fakelite rather than Bakelite

Sorry folks! I read the info about posting pictures but the photo attachment option not working for me and Photo Bucket was down for maintenance earlier. The bracelet is "plastic" not wood, I did see a wood and bakelite version in a book but this has no wood. Like I said it has the funky smell under hot water and the Q tip turned yellow with 409. Cant find any info online about it. Thanks!

Has anyone seen a piece of bakelite like this? It passes the 409 and hot water smell test but I cannot find anything online with the exception of a multi colored one that has the groove for clasp (on the left) going in the other direction that looks like it. Thanks for any info.

I don't see the picture in preview hopefully it works when I post.
