How I Test for Bakelite

Many customers ask me how I test items to see if they are bakelite. I use Simichrome Polish and a white cloth. Apply a small amount of simichrome on the item and rub with the clean white cloth. If a distinctly deep yellow mark appears then the item is bakelite. Make sure that the item is clean before testing so you are not confused with dirt on the white cloth. Hope you find this helpful!
