    Hi, I bought quite a few bakelite looking pieces recently, and Im currently in the process of identifying them.
    The two leaves, the angular brooch and the yellow beads on the bracelet tested as bakelite (baking soda plus smell), but I find it difficult to identify the small brooch. The seller sold it to me as amber, but it doesn't feel like it in person (although Im not sure about how to efficiently test amber), and it is also not bakelite. Any other suggestions?
    About all of the pieces if you have any suggestion about date or anything, they are also very welcome! Thank you! Vic

    EBay, cheap as anything, just get the little torch kind. Great for identifying amber.
