    Description

    Offered for sale is this awesome refurbished Bakelite bracelet! The bracelet has been restored to its original clear di-chromatic chartreuse color. This is lemon-lime color is really rare and changes color depending on the angle the bracelet is held to the light.
    Over the years the patina of the bracelet had darkened to a gold color and there were noticeable scuffs and scratches to the outside of the bracelet.
    The original color has been restored and the surface wear removed and the bracelet looks fantastic!!
    The bracelet is 3/4" wide with a thick 3/8" dome. The bracelet weighs 47 grams and has the standard 2.5" interior diameter.
    The bracelet is in excellent refurbished condition and its
    authenticity was confirmed
    using Simichrome polish pre-restoration. (See photo #10)
    No chips, cracks or crazing was noted in the bracelet. There is a pinhead sized speck of dust that managed to find its way into the plastic resin as the bracelet tube was being made. If you enlarge photo #9 you can see the speck at the 12 o'clock position.
    NOTE: As part of the refurbishment process, surface dirt and the discoloration of the Bakelite that occurs as it oxidizes from exposure to sunlight is removed.
    Sunlight not only causes the color of the Bakelite to change, but sunlight also draws
    the chemical that reacts to the Simichrome polish in Bakelite to the surface. When testing with Simichrome polish, this chemical (pheno-formaldehyde) is what causes the chemical reaction that changes the pink color of the Simichrome polish to a nicotine yellow which indicates a positive result for Bakelite.
    So until the bracelet has been exposed to sunlight for some period of time, the bracelet will not test positive with Simichrome polish.
