To inspect photos, simply click on the binocular icon on the top right corner of any photo.
Galalith was made for a short period of time in France (sometimes called French Bakelite) and Germany before WW2 and looks a lot like celluloid, but when heated, smells like sour milk as it is a milk-based casein plastic. This beauty would make a fabulous addition to your early plastics collection!
Excellent condition, this has been hot water tested and identified as Galalith. Although very difficult to read, the clasp hardware is marked Germany The necklace chain is 18" long and the pendant measures 1 5/8" long and 1 1/8" wide an weighs 12 grams. This is a wonderful piece hailing from the Art Deco period, estimated circa 1920s. (B-04-19-16-#1)
