chicgalfinds4u Hi- did you test the handle to confirm it is Bakelite?

chicgalfinds4u @vintage_voice what did you test with? I have same handbag and tested the handle with simichrome and it did not turn the cloth yellow as it should if it is Bakelite. That is why I am asking. Thank you

vintage_voice @chicgalfinds4u If an item is listed as Bakelite, I've tested it with semi-chrome. I also have been collecting Bakelite for a long time and it has the look, feel, etc. of it and would make sense it would be used for a W&D purse of this era.
