Really Bakelite?

I seriously doubt these are made from Bakelite. Bakelite is not transparent, because of the wood flour fillers used in the resin. What is properly called Bakelite cannot be colored as shown. I suspect these are Catalin, another phenolic resin. Kbrose (talk) 13:32, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
