Pre-plastic fantastic!

In the 20s, 30s, 40s, before plastic was popularlized, we had bakelite. And something called celluloid.





















These necklaces are adorable, as is the very special bakelite cigarette case. Perfect to tap your ciggie on as you knock back a scotch and soda and gaze teasingly through false lashes at the dashing young man making passionate love to you (which just meant dating back then, people.) (Yeah, right.)
