Featured Marbled plastic Mirror......................................c/s1

Hi folks

a cool find i picked up last week

haven't tested it yet (run outta)

got a seriously cool marbled look to the plastic though

the lines in the handles make me think deco or 40s

any info appreciated

 

just realised i can turn it horizontal and do a quite bad george formby impression (cringe)......but saying that...i find george formby quite bad (cringe)........so perhaps its a good impression ?

 

No accounting for taste!
My favorite 78 rpm record of his ...

 

crrrrringe

 

it sure wants to be, but I'd test it to be sure.

Hmm...best get back to cleanin' them windows,now where in the bleedin' ell did I put my bleedin binocs ?

 

good old Colin !.....wonder if he wants to join our bunch of merry soldiers....

bet he raised his eyes at her after she finally stopped going on about that bloody mirror of hers

 

if theres one one worse than george........its someone doing an impression of him.......and that stupid pretend laugh/sing at the same time thing they do........will have to find a vid......shouldn't take long

 

yesterday i got stuck with a doo wop song in me head all day......

i just hope to god i'm not gonna be stuck with tiptoe through the tulips.........

thank you very much sir david.........

......da de da de da............tiptoe though the.......damn it !

 

so cellulose acetate it seems to be......think i have a question old plastic bangle that could be it as well (will dig)

 

don't know if anyones ever read my book ' the dangers of Doo-wop'

but anyways its about this song

 

I LOVE IT! Helluva Use picker!

 

no need for contrasting not as vibrant as the mirror, but just feels and looks like the same type of plastic, feels brittle as well

 

next pic will just be of a bloody great fire FROOM !!!!

 

If it's celluloid, that's not impossible. It's highly flammable.

I'd take some baking soda and a q-tip, or just a good thumb, to those and find out. Mothball smell = camphor = celluloid. Formaldehyde = PHEW! = catalin/bakelite. If the cotton swab turns red or the color of the plastic, it's dyed something but bakelite it's not. The mirror is big enough that I'd start with a hard rubbing with my thumb; heat and friction can raise a stink too.
