According to "Anonymous", it looks like you have some hazardous material on your hands - "formaldehyde". I'd hold onto it anyway.<br /><br />I was so excited when I saw that the blog entries had moved to "42".<br /><br />AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449708476398413614.post-81177740890323730332010-11-22T17:43:41.900-06:002010-11-22T17:43:41.900-06:00I too read this fascinating blog whenever Loose En...I too read this fascinating blog whenever Loose Ends posts!

It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from an elimination reaction of phenol with formaldehyde, usually with a wood flour filler. It was developed in 1907–1909 by Belgian chemist Dr. Leo Baekeland.<br /><br />One of the first plastics made from synthetic components (although phenol can be extracted from biological sources), Bakelite was used for its electrically nonconductive and heat-resistant properties in radio and telephone casings and electrical insulators, and also in such diverse products as kitchenware, jewellery, pipe stems, and children's toys. In 1993 Bakelite was designated a National Historical Chemical Landmark in recognition of its significance as the world's first synthetic plastic.[1]<br /><br />The "retro" appeal of old Bakelite products and labor intensive manufacturingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
