Vintage 7/8" Restored Bakelite Bracelet! Semi Translucent Cherry Red Color!

Description: This beautiful vintage Bakelite bracelet has been restored to its original bright cherry red color and looks fantastic! If you take a look at photo #10 you can see the color and condition of the bracelet before the restoration. The bracelet's original bright red color had dulled quite a bit and there was noticeable surface wear.The restoration returned the bracelet to its original bright red color and removed the scuffs and scratches that had accumulated over the years. The bracelet is 7/8" wide with a domed shape; weighs 24 grams and has a 2.5" interior diameter. The bracelet is in excellent refurbished condition with no chips, cracks or gaps in the lamination. The bracelet tested positive for Bakelite using Simichrome polish pre-restoration. (See photo #10) NOTE: As part of the refurbishment process, surface dirt and the discoloration of the Bakelite that occurs as it oxidizes from exposure to sunlight is removed. Sunlight not only causes the color of the Bakelite to change (often to a darker shade) but sunlight also draws the chemical that reacts to the Simichrome polish in Bakelite to the surface. When testing with Simichrome polish, this chemical (pheno-formaldehyde) is what causes the chemical reaction that changes the pink color of the Simichrome polish to a nicotine yellow which indicates a positive result for Bakelite. So until the bracelet has been exposed to sunlight for some period of time, the bracelet will not test positive with Simichrome polish.
