I can see why you got it. It has an especially nice look. I don't envy you the task of having to open it though. But agree, you've got to try!...
The green ensemble looks to be 1990s. Pretty sure it is the same vintage as the orange enamel Catherine Popesco pin right under it. From the...
What age was the handbag? Thinking there wouldn't be vintage components on a modern bag unless it was some kind of craft/art piece. I would call...
Breathtaking piece. If you can, go back to your first photo and repost as "FULL IMAGE" as well. This glass is absolutely amazing. Maybe needs...

Your last photo especially makes this look like something other than Bakelite. Maybe some kind of coated plastic or even stone? You wouldn't...
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.
I think on Lane pieces you read the serial number backwards to get the date. (On cedar chests, I remember hearing this --so probably on dressers...
I had to google "Sparrow Fart".
