Definitely the beads are best! And I think you are correct to call them Cherry Amber Bakelite. If you do a Simichrome test to confirm Bakelite,...
Good suggestion to check Ebay. Definitely look under "SOLD". They used to sell well, but lately less interest, so I'm not sure whether grouping...
Gotta love green! Agree that box did not originally go with this. I've not seen construction like this from the back before. Does the bracelet...
Opps, yes of course. Good catch! 1964. All along I was thinking this looked more 1960s... Only half way through coffee defense.
