2-Toned Butterscotch, Red, Green Bakelite Stainless Steel Flatware 34 Pieces Set
Description
  • Title: 2-Toned Butterscotch, Red, Green Bakelite Stainless Steel Flatware 34 Pieces Set
  • Description: Bakelite was the major form of “art plastic” from the 1930s through to the 1950s. It was patented by Belgian-born Leo Hendrik Baekeland in New York in 1907, and was the first truly synthetic and thermosetting plastic. Thermosetting meant that it could not be melted or changed by heating once formed. It was marketed as the world's first synthetic plastic. This is a very rare set of vintage art deco bakelite with dual tones, perfect for a collector or lover of vintage flatware. Great to Good condition with minimal to no damage, needs some light polishing. Light wear due to time and use, but there are no broken or loose parts. No burns or marks, just light dirt over time. A very rare set that could complete an existing set! These are stainless steel flatware sets that will last a lifetime!
