Bakelite, the world's first artificial plastic, was developed in 1907 and was widely used as a material for accessories, and due to its strength, as a raw material for dominoes and mahjong tiles. The change in color over time is also a reason for its popularity. This resin becomes more flavorful with age, as the surface oxidizes, enhancing its color and flavor, making it highly sought after by collectors in the United States and traded at high prices. In addition to cutlery, accessories made of Bakelite are also popular with collectors. The lightweight, hand-friendly handles are a vibrant red that brightens up the dining table. These are the perfect size for use as soup or dessert spoons. As they are vintage items, there are signs of use such as minor scratches, scuffs, discoloration, rubbing, and fading of the luster, as you can see in the photos. There is no major damage, but there are some dullness and deterioration lines at the joints due to aging, as well as minor scratches on the stainless steel parts. Please understand that there are individual differences in the color changes. As these are old cutlery, please consider purchasing them with an understanding of vintage items. This is a set of 3.
