Bakelite is an early plastic or resin made from synthetic
materials. It was developed in the early 1900's and used to make items such as
jewelry, billiard balls, toys and game pieces, radios, flatware sets, and many
other products produced from the early to Mid 20th century. In photographic
equipment, the most common items produced in Bakelite were cameras, light
meters, lens caps and cases, developing tanks, and projectors.

The manufacturing process was labor intensive and the material was
formed from an elimination reaction of phenol with formaldehyde, usually with a
wood flour filler. It is still being produced occasionally for industrial uses,
but no longer for consumer merchandise due to the labor and cost involved This
makes Bakelite fall into the "retro" or "vintage" material category, and is
often classified as a rare and more valuable plastic than modern plastics.
Because there are so many different types of plastic, and some are very similar
to Bakelite, it is often questionable as to whether an item was truly made of
Bakelite or not. When it comes to vintage cameras, being made of Bakelite
typically isn't a huge concern as it is with vintage jewelry, but the retro
aspect still appeals Some cameras were only made out of Bakelite, and in these
cases, there are also a few manual tests you can perform to determine if the
plastic is indeed Bakelite.

tests: Bakelite is a heavy, denser material than most plastics. It typically
feels thicker and has a smooth finish. The finishing methods used to produce
Bakelite removed any seams in the material so true Bakelite shouldn't have edges
that visibly come The sound of two pieces of Bakelite clanking together typical
produces a lower-pitched. The sound of two pieces of Bakelite clanking together
typically produces a lower-pitched "clunky" sound. The sound is a little more
subjective though, and shouldn't be sole relied upon as a testing method.
