These are a really thick and really big design, tested end of the day bakelite circa 1940's - in excellent condition.
Bakelite was one of the first plastics made from synthetic components, very popular in the late 30s and 40s. End of the day bakelite was created using remnant color batches from the day which were then swirled together (hence the marbling) creating unique one of a kind items.
