Those are just beautiful Robert.

I also worked with bakelite when I worked at the Wilder Dam in Wilder Vermont for 14 years. I worked for New England Electric for 24 years and we saw and used bakelite all the time there.
 
All of the Bakelike I has come from IAP members or from ebay. Exotic blanks has a few pieces at times but it goes quickly. You can always look in antique stores as I have heard people finding some there...I always look but have never gotten lucky getting it at the antique stores.
 
Beautiful! Gotta love bakelite.

Every so often you'll see some for sale here on IAP. I've found some in antique stores, but 99% of the time they're part of cutlery and not much of it is useable.

All right I'll try that.
Thanks
