<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 123585, member: 360&quot;]Celluloid came out in the late 1850s or early 1860s (you&#039;ll have to check). </p><p><br /></p><p>It was originally called Parkesine. Then Xylonite. Then Celluloid. But it went under LOADS of different names. It was also called French Ivory, Ivorine, and Permanite, to name just a handful. There&#039;s probably loads of other names.

So while it could be extremely strong and could be moulded and carved and coloured and stained...it did have an Achilles Heel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
