Authenticity & Testing • Bakelite Status: 100% Authentic Vintage Bakelite Cherries. • Testing Methods: The red cherries have been fully tested and passed both the hot water smell test (releasing the distinct, unmistakable carbolic/formaldehyde aroma) and the baking soda chemical test (yielding a positive nicotine-yellow reaction) bakelite smell, testing bakelite with baking soda. • Note on Restored Components: Please note that while the cherries are original mid-century pieces, the interlocking translucent red plastic chain links, green leaves, and green wire wraps are modern reproductions used to breathe secure new life into these rare vintage components.
