Hi! I loved your class! I’m hoping to find more classes from you. I’m sure it’s already been noted but I just wanted to say (in case you get out on the spot again), you can typically date pins and brooches by the hardware, pin length and construction. Tube hinge or C clasp ect. Just something you can mention so they can research. I’m gonna go find some more of your videos! I have already learned so much just from this class. I do have a question if you get time. Will bakelite that has a clear or lacquer finish still test with the semi-chrome? Thank you

Could you comment on reproductions from the big C. or wherever?

Could see

Can u bring closer to camera please so tube people. Ould see

Can't see jewelry

I was always told end of the day Bakelite refers to pieces with three or more distinctive colors. Because sometimes the two color ones were done intentionally such as the Green and Yellow which is a pretty common swirled to find. I've seen some pieces with as much as 8 colors in a single piece.

Wow 😮

Why are you wearing a face shield? Asking for a friend…

Very educational and easy to follow video. Thank you! If I may suggest, when you are showing pieces of jewelry, maybe come close to the camera so viewers can see? :-)

Thank you for the new videos, I really love all of them!

very happy for the new videos!

I really liked the last idea, very clever 😮

spokesperson has very limited knowledge of vintage plastics and has discussed lots of falsehoods about Bakelite - most of the table features Catalin plastic jewelry

I totally meant to go to this. Glad the KZfaq algorithm got something right and brought this up.

Find a “ Repair Cafe “ in your area they may have a Textile repair person Google it

Fascinating. My younger sister loves hat pins but doesn't watch computer programs like this so will miss out seeing this.---It was unfortunate that the camera spotlights of her various examples wasn't better coordinated because I got a bit cross-eyed when the camera went swinging while trying to capture what she was showing. And wouldn't it have been nice to have posters with ladies wearing those huge hats on display on easels behind her? Also, I was a bit frustrated with her answer about where she bought her pins...I was hoping for something like "thrift stores, antique shops, on-line vendors", etc.

This is an awesome video. Thank you. I have my grandmother's vanity china which includes a hand painted portrait of her at 5yrs old ....painted right on one of the pieces. Done in 1894. Many odds and ends jewelry as well. Though it's priceless to me I'm curious about the value..thanks again for this video

How do I ask he a specific question?

I learned so much and this women (I didn’t catch her name) is adorable ❤

No disrespect, but this was way too long and got very boring

❤

Thank you. Learned a lot

This was such an interesting class! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Enjoyed this and learned some things. I know of some things that should have been told. For Fenton, they started the raised stamp in the 70s.

Thank you. Please do more like this! 🏵️

Answer I t took 14 hrs to do a cordial glass ..they had hot and cold factorys hot would make the peice cold did the cuttings.

you didnt give prices

True. Replacements is very pricey.

Wow, is that the artistry of just one person!

Just discovered your channel. Fantastic info! Thank you. I would add one thing if you’re going to continue on KZfaq and I do hope you do! Please don’t forget your online viewers. It was difficult to see some of the items because they weee so far away from that camera.

Could be useful with some close ups. Can't se anything in this video.

How do you test for bakelite

I didn’t know old Fenton isn’t marked and that older milk glass has an orange ring when held up to the light.

😊❤👩🏻‍🦳👍‼️

Awesome! Thank you❤!

My wife and I will carefully review your video and post a critique as a separate comment asap.

What a fun color scheme!

Tastefully done, but hard to wrap my mind around this one!

I enjoy the class but would like to have zoom in on items examples speaker is showcasing and microphone in audience to hear questions as well. Thanks for the info.

Im a dealer, you are spot on. and Yes, my library of REFERENCE BOOKS are valuable. however prices have fallen in recent years , so I have to compensate for that.

Cool

Very basic video on glass! Should of picked one or two types of glass and given information on them!

Oh my, I missed this the first time around So glad I got back to it!

What a delightful table to gather around with family & friends!

Loved the lesson!

Great classes I really hope there will be more of them! Thank you!

exellent video but you dont show us any close up pictures of the items . its hard to see far away

Thank you for recording this information. I liked and subscribed.

Close up pictures would be great for these old eyes 😂

Thank you for all the information! Loved the presenter! Question: I have a set of Sheffield forever sharp knives with kind of tortoise shell design handles. Would they be Bakelite?
