Is the red stuff in this fibula set bakelite? You can test it by carefully giving some pressure on the "stones" if it is hard it is bakelite if it dents a bit its celluloid which is older. Used from the end of the 19th century till begin of the 20th century, because it is not very strong and dents easily one started using bakelite in stead, which was invented in the beginning of the 20th century and more durable.
Lovely Alaa, the color sets is off vividly. I think with corral it will be softer. But I appreciate it as it is, gives it its own character. Love the sturdy skilled craftmanship. Gr. Ingrid.
