"Find the best antique and vintage collector books and price guides on antiques and collectibles that appraisers and dealers use plus expert collecting book reviews at Collectics Antique Collector Bookstore." World Antiques Weekly

Brimming over with over 150 full page, luscious photographs of superb jewelry, Best of Bakelite and Other Plastic Jewelry is a treasure chest of bakelite, celluliod and lucite vintage plastic design. The purpose of this book is to illustrate the amazing range, the indefatigable humor, the high style, the good-hearted silliness, the streamlined chic, the daring inventiveness, the color, and the form that characterize Bakelite jewelry. It is emblematic of a unique culture that only could have blossomed between a depression and a world war. A sign of the times, Bakelite baubles were a valentine to optimism, a what-the-hell gaiety, a feeling of"making hay while the sun shines." So what if you had no money! Just pin some dime store cherries on your old blue serge lapel, tilt your felt chapeau, and go get 'em! Several of today's leading bakelite collectors lent their finest pieces of this book. Layered, carved molded, translucent, painted, and imbedded jewelry styles are displayed in profusion. The captions include the values guide with selections ranging from the common to exceedingly rare. This book presents excitement and the best plastic jewelry to be found.
