[QUOTE="Eils14, post: 2288966, member: 14776"]Hi Bronwen, Thanks for the reply. Well it appears close to room temperature and I think about the right weight for its size (measures about 3.5cms from behind.) When tapping with a finger it sounds duller than when I tap a glass but perhaps more solid than plastic. I was thinking man made purely because of the lines in the back of the piece, but I have no idea. I haven't been able to find anything like it online yet and it has been puzzling me for some time. I'm glad to know though that it has some age and is older than bakelite. I had wondered at one point if it could be another early plastic (I don't know too much about the different early types for identification) but from what you say it seems unlikely too and it may just be a mystery material! :confused:[/QUOTE]
