<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 368653, member: 36"]Not exactly. Reworked bakelite is my guess. Take a damp q-tip and rub some baking soda on the back of a horse. Take a good sniff after rubbing a bit; odds are you're going to get formaldehyde. Those may have been blanks made before WWII and never used; in 2008 someone made them into a pin. They could also have been cut from bits of a busted-up radio case or something. There used to be a guy on Ebay who did similar work, but he wasn't active the last time I looked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
