Damaris Phillips Instagram – Bakelite is a hard plastic that was very popular in the 1930’s-50’s. This handle looks like Bakelite but doesn’t pass the Bakelite smell test (rub it vigorously with your thumb to create friction, then smell the handle and your thumb will smell like rubber if it’s true Bakelite) Once cheaper hard plastics were invented Bakelite fell out of popularity, however the sleek and smooth look remained into the 1970’s where you often see the 70’s color palette or faux wood in kitchen utensils.
