More Bakelite Bangles, 1930s/40s

Chunky colorful Bakelite (Catalin) bangles in a more geometric and simple style then the carved ones posted before. They were made using the same machining techniques and the two at the bottom of the pile on the left show the external aspect of the original stock tubes used to make all of them. These tubes were about the same height of these stacks. Unmarked, they may have been made in USA. The bangles have the standard inner diameter of 2 and a half inches.
