Product Details
Vintage Butterscotch Bakelite Dice Pair
Bakelite was the first fully synthetic plastic, created in the early 20th century. It was known for its ability to be molded into various shapes, its durability, and its ability to be polished to a smooth finish.
Dice were one of many items made from Bakelite, along with items like radios, telephones, and kitchenware. The material's properties made it suitable for producing dice with a satisfying weight and sound.
Today, most dice are made from materials like ABS plastic, which are more cost-effective and readily available. However, Bakelite dice continue to hold a special place in history and collecting.
