Afire..you are correct! However, the "Bakelite" stuff we have seen (vintage stuff) was created, if you will,by Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907. His material started gaining popularity around the 1930s, and was used for toys, pipes, and all manner of other items. I am using very loose translations here. So, Bakelight was around during this era, but I still think that the leather covered cases were the preferred item, and later 30s and 40s in to the 50s, would usher in larger uses of this new style plastic. Just a thought............

People you thought were your best friends will stab you in the back to your face!

Love them anyway.
