    WOW!! AMAZING SCORE!! just an fyi ive heard you can use 409 cleaner to test Bakelite. a little on a Q-tip will turn yellow if its Bakelite. I haven't tried it myself but got that tip from a really good source. Thanks for sharing.

    • @ThriftHunter
      @ThriftHunter  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks I'll have to give that a try.

  • @CaliforniaPickin
    @CaliforniaPickin 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    WOW! When u open that box, my eyes popped out! There are $200 -$300 bangles in there. And a few that might (?) go $500 - $1,000 and BEYOND? A Vintage multi colored & Red Bakelite bracelet was featured on Antiques Roadshow many years ago . A woman was showing her vintage Bakelite Purse collection (3) of her best. The appraisal lady appraised the purses in the mid hundreds. Then she said she noticed the collector wearing the Bakelite bracelet. The appraisal lady told her like $5,000 ! The collector was flabbergasted and was panting for air! Then She hugged the appraiser ! It was one of the more memorable AR in history. U can search on TH-cam.

    • @CaliforniaPickin
      @CaliforniaPickin 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      And a lot of $30 - $100 in there as well. U are gonna clean up !

    • @ThriftHunter
      @ThriftHunter  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I think most of the multi-color laminates and those two big bracelets are reproductions I believe. The stretch bracelets, the cream bracelets, some of the apple juice stuff, and the black/yellow are probably the only bakelite. Even so, the newer ones are still nice too and will sell but not too crazy. Thanks for watching.

    @livingthegoodlifechannel 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good for you! I was wondering if you were still finding garage/estate sales to go to lately since there hadn't been any videos posted. You found some neat stuff. The garage sales hear are really trailing off here. It will be mainly estate sales and thrift stores until March for me. Good luck to you this week!

    • @ThriftHunter
      @ThriftHunter  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah iv been finding things here and there. Estate sales are slow, garage sales have been decent. I found more than this too. Was going to make another video but ran out of time. Will be more to come. Thanks for watching

  • @debbiemitchell6055
    @debbiemitchell6055 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Without testing and you saying you don't know what Bakelite looks like then saying through out the video it's Bakelite. Come on, first and foremost that was someone's grandmother's collection. She was the one who dressed like Carmen Miranda. (And was made fun of behind her back by friends and family! Now who gets the last laugh at them, haha.

    • @pachiayang1853
      @pachiayang1853 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sobral. Very well known for his plastic designs. Just bought my first Sobral on eBay. Expect at least $50, some colorful ones go over $150.

    The two you held up together saying you're not sure about, hinged multicolor. One of them is called The Philadelphia and is worth 8k and up!

    • @ThriftHunter
      @ThriftHunter  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey thanks for watching. Those bracelets were for sure reproductions. They don't have the right colors or the right fixtures. I still got a good price for them, even as reproductions they are very nice.

      Hi and thanks for the comment. This collection was one I'll never forget. Even I had no idea exactly what I had when I bought them. I did maybe 5 or so listings on ebay broken up into different lots. They went to very happy buyers and are being worn as they should be.

    Easily $2,000 - $3,000 + well done ...you would sell those for a mint in Australia :)

    • @ThriftHunter
      @ThriftHunter  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow I don't see quite that much there, maybe individually over a long period of time. I'll pull a few of the good things for individual, lot up some, and give some away. I see $600-750 tops honestly but I hope you're right. Thanks for watching

    How much did you pay for these?

  • @omfug7148
    @omfug7148 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    where did you find the haul, and how much did you pay? you have a mix of truly old, some modern (the Lea Stein designs are 1970's I believe) brand new and some knock-offs, the 2 clamper bracelets with the rainbow colors are based on a bangle famously called the "Philadelphia" bracelet and those used to sell in the thousands, but just from the glimpse I could see in your video, the pair you showed look like plastic copies. Still, depending on what you paid, you have an impressive score (I'd love to find that Lea Stein fox--that is an iconic brooch.)

    • @ThriftHunter
      @ThriftHunter  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I figure there's only a handful of actual bakelite, but I mean I never see the stuff anymore. Picked it up around the corner from my house for regular plastic garage sale prices. Thanks for watching

    • @omfug7148

      No I don't think so, stuff is horribly toxic to make. Thanks for watching

    • @omfug7148
      @omfug7148 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Some designers take bakelite from old radios, etc and remake it into jewelry.

  • @rosemaryadamson5176
    @rosemaryadamson5176 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Be careful. Bakelite like any thing of value has been copied. The fact that some of your pieces look new might be because they are.
