Made in the good ‘Ole USA, this vintage Bakelite serrated cake knife still looks amazing. Bakelite was popular in the late 1920’s and the retro 1950’s. Stamped Burns Manufacturing, Syracuse. Once touted as “Kitchen Jewelry”, Bakelite was a fun and economical alternative to fancy accoutrements, especially during War times. The introduction of Bakelite—the world's first synthetic plastic—in 1907 marked the introduction of the Polymer Age. I would not recommend actually using Bakelite In Service because it was manufactured with components that are harmful when airborne and inhaled or ingested. So For Display Only please! This relic is in awesome vintage condition with minor digs consistent with age. The rich brown handle is in awesome condition. 10” long x 1.5” wide
