Before you pass over the “old plastic” bin at the thrift store, take a second look. 👀 Bakelite turns up in chunky bangles, but it was also used for pot handles, telephones, and even salt and pepper shakers. And collectors are still snapping it up! Color and weight can help you determine if it’s Bakelite, but there are other tricks, too. Save this for your next thrift trip—and follow me for more things nobody taught you to recognize. #thriftfinds #bakelite #vintagejewelry #secondhand #thrifting
