I have been searching for one of the purse ones for a while now...I want just the right one. :) I saw that someone posted the smell test for bakelite, but you can also put some 409 on a cloth and rub in a place that isn't noticeable, if the cloth turns like a nicotine yellow, then it's bakelite. I've tried both of these tests and haven't had too much luck...maybe my stuff just isn't bakelite! but if one of the tests do work, I'd love to hear your results. :)<br /><br />EmilyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649228794272554685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-40112588055054917222009-10-02T08:33:46.775-05:002009-10-02T08:33:46.775-05:00Wow!

Yours collection is so very pretty. Not only did a woman have to keep herself looking pretty, but, she had to have a place to stash her ciggies. Geez, everyone smoked back in the day- think of all the old b/w movies, and even the current tv series, "Mad Men." Even the most mundane of items were designed so classy! Hope you can hunt up the rest of your collection someday.... *grin*<br />hugs, SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-72514048372985260252009-10-01T03:30:17.058-05:002009-10-01T03:30:17.058-05:00Hi Carol

There's the attic, which you can see inside if you look for "attic" in my lables on the left sidebar. There's also a garage, a "washhouse", Grandpa's work shop, Great Grandpa's work shop and several lean-tos. All piled to the rafters. It's not all treasures mind you, a lot of it is trash. And the tresures have mostly been well used so they have more sentimental value than anything. About the only thing that left this property since the 1930s were the eggs and gladiolas they sold! We are so in over our heads trying to get it all cleaned up so be careful what you offer!LOL!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658368332496429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-39254448293977474102009-09-30T22:54:29.069-05:002009-09-30T22:54:29.069-05:00wow i've never seen a compact like a purse wit...wow i've never seen a compact like a purse with a handle, ssoo cute!!..i think the red one is bakelite & it's my fav btw :)marianhttp://marianedwardsdreamweaver.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-76749760467635158422009-09-30T22:47:08.510-05:002009-09-30T22:47:08.510-05:00How wonderful!
