Technically, this colorful plastic is a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin. A specialized cast iron machine called a Bakelizer was constructed to manufacture this first synthetic plastic. Bakelite reached its height of popularity in the 1930s during the Great Depression & Art Deco Period. As well as injecting beauty and durability into everyday household goods, bakelite was fashioned into wonderful pieces of jewelry & beads.
