Hi. I am a collector of Bakelite and old plastic such as celluloid. I wonder if there are more collectors who are interested in this and also collect. Have you ever bought something at Catawiki auctions? If you are also a collector or want to know something about bakelite - celluloid - or urea formaldehyde, please communicate via email or catawiki.

Greetings Cvanzanten (do not post email addresses on an open forum - moderator)

Coincidentally, I saw the above message.

My partner also collects Bakelite. I once asked him a question about why he collected this junk. Now I notice that Bakelite is really not junk and I found a nice website about it:

http://www.allbakelite.com/ switches-2/ switch material- built-in white- new

He loosens the handles of old pans and cooking pots. He has a whole rack full of Bakelite switches, fuses, ...

I suspect the time is not yet right for him to get rid of all his Bakelite.

Greetings

hi world 2014

Nice of you to respond to my message. No, Bakelite is certainly not junk.

When I started collecting, there were very few Bakelite collectors.

But now there are many of them and Bakelite for collecting is all the rage.

And there is also interest in Bakelite on Catawiki.

I hope your partner gets a nice collection of the Bakelite.

regards

chris53

The forum is not for advertising in order to sell items.

The link that was posted leads you to a specialist topic about Bakelite. This link takes you to the homepage and is a nice reference for collectors and people who want to know more about it.

@ World2014 : I hope your partner has already put his collection in CataWiki. That way other collectors can also enjoy it and add the items to their wish list.

Chris53 : I assume you have been doing that for a long time ! ;)

Dear DisneyMeentwijc

The link I displayed is the same as your link , but I also posted it with the intention of learning something new. I loved that site.

And yeah, ... no, my partner won't be selling his Bakelite gadgets just yet. He may have his reason for this because he has always worked in petrochemistry: the new plastics such as PP and PE, ... Maybe I should put them in the catalog without his knowledge. He probably won't be thinking about selling yet. I wonder why he even unscrews handles from old cooking pots and pans. After all, bakelite can no longer be melted into another shape.

He apparently prides itself on its electrical material such as plugs, sockets, switches.

I also have a nice bakelite gadget ... a beautiful goblet with a bakelite lid, obtained from an inheritance. Maybe I should lead them to the slaughter.

@ World201: I think you have not understood the purpose of the CataWiki Catalog. CataWiki is built as a Catalog for collectors who can keep track of their collection what they have.

If your items, such as the jar, but also that of your partner are not in it, you can easily add to the Catalog. That does not mean that you are selling it, but simply that it is also registered in the CataWiki Catalog!

If you buy a Bakelite item from your collection or that of your partner then you can indicate this by selecting it and then indicating on the right-hand side what you want to do with it (Add to collection, Sell or Auction).

I hope that I will your partner has removed the fear of posting something in the CataWiki Catalog. Furthermore, I naturally hope, along with all other Bakelite collectors, that a lot of beautiful items will be added to the Catalog.

Be careful with Bakelite and electricity! I think that is dangerous with long use (gets very hot, I thought).

Good luck and it is more fun to collect with someone!

So, the jar has been added, but I can't get the prize removed. The prize has no added value at the moment, but I was obliged to add it.

I also think the item doesn't belong in this category. It is a glass jar with lid and so actually belongs in the section Glass / Crystal.

And in the Netherlands we call this a jar and not a jar. A cup is a cup that you receive as a prize after a won match.

Are you sure that the pot is made of plastic? Usually those kind of candy jars (because that's what they want to call it) made of glass. That section also contains such a kind of storage jar (more general name, which does not immediately reveal the content).

Furthermore, I would like to ask you to crop your photos until you only see the object. or in such a way that you see as little background as possible. And then I find the best order: image 2 in 1st place, image 1 in 2nd place and image 3 is good, but of course also needs to be cropped.

And finally we note the sizes at CataWiki in centimeters to 2 decimal places.

I hope you have received enough information for the input of the other objects and wish you a lot of fun with CataWiki! I saw that you have already been able to change the state yourself.

This site describes the jar extensively. It's not rare by the way (according to Google), but I can't figure out what those Spécialités were exactly.

There is another item of the same name in the catalog. How can we link the two?

That item of the same name is a tin box, while my candy jar is made of glass with a Bakelite lid.

You take it very carefully that it even makes me discouraged. The use of words can be completely different for NL and BE.

I will crop photos if there is enough time.

A few other meanings for this word in the same language:

- Wide mouth bottle

- Glass bowl or bottle with wide mouth for beverages

- Large glass

- Glass bowl

- Glass vessel

- Small aquarium

How it is called in the Netherlands is not important, but what the name is in Dutch.

We simply call a cup, which you receive as a prize after a match won, a cup.

PS google some images of jars

The candy "jar" may indeed also be listed under "glass", but because this "jar" has a real Bakelite lid, I prefer to see it under the Bakelite section.

There was no space either. available to state what this pot was for. Or am I wrong?

Originally it was used to store King's peppermints. This was then on the shop shelf or on the shop counter.

Expressing it in cm with 2 digits after the comma I call a bit of nitpicking. Do we have to keep adding a sliding bar? My sliding bar cannot measure such a height.

By law this concerns the cutting of photos, ... well, I have already seen some messy photos on Catawiki: the object with some pots and pans on the windowsill , ... Anyway, I'll crop the photos.

Same brand of candies.

The Spécialités are simply the house brand candies that were inside. Mostly the Perpermints (but they also had other specialties).

that's quite possible

before the auction you can enter everything, no control

for the catalog you have to meet certain guidelines, but there is a huge backlog

That is very understandable.

Usually everything is classified according to what it physically represents. In this case a glass jar.

If Suske en Wiske was printed on it, it would still be a glass jar.

That's the category it belongs to.

So you collect objects from different categories with the characteristic (theme) that they are all made of Bakelite.

If you enter 'bakelite' as a search term in the catalog you will find almost 500 items, in various categories.

And then, to add to JozefK, you click on glass and ceramics and glass and you see that there are very few pots. What a jar is for, you can state with the content, candy or peppermint is sufficient. With details you can then mention that it contained King mints and the jar was in a rack at drugstores. But I doubt if there were KING mints in it, because they had their own jars with KING on the lid and originally also a wrap around it.

As for the dimensions to 2 decimal places, it just depends on the system. If you enter 10, the system makes it 10.00 and assumes you mean 10 cm. You entered the measurements accurately to the mm and if you have to display that in cm, as with CataWiki, then just decimals are used, simple!

And as for jars, I think that is the place to be. never put a lid on!

I also have the jars that tapir mentions in my cellar, especially 100 jars from "Weck". So real weck jars to sterilize fruit and vegetables, sauces, .... A single goblet is still with a fixed clamp. Most with loose clamps, which are still used here by young people to put a candle (especially in the smaller jars), or to throw in some sugar beans with a nice bow around it, this ugly jar becomes a beautiful thing again.

I do not want to turn this forum into a language lesson and will try to meet the requirements of Catawiki, but also the language, as far as possible.

Other Bakelite also includes a salt shaker. So that salt shaker is wrong.

So now I'm going to fill my "remork" so I can go to the container park tomorrow. In the meantime I have warmed up the grandson's chocolate milk on the "chauffage". The grandson sleeps wonderfully. However, he needs a light at night. From grandma and grandpa he got a big Micky Mouse and Donald Duck (original from Disney, antique and authentic). To solve his lighting problem, we put a light that works on "pills" in one of the figures. Donald Duck works with a light that is connected to electricity. Now I'm going "rapid" into the basement, ... let's see if I still have "case rolls" with a bakelite handle there.

Now I won't "ambetter" you for a while :-)

I only have an old weck bottle, but not from the Weck brand. Mine is older and not made of white glass. I took a picture of it, but the bottle is too close to the candy jar. This photo is therefore unusable for the catalog. So you have to be patient until I have time to take a picture of it and add it to the catalog.

So I really didn't know that Weck also manufactured the bottles! Nice bottles!

The new ones are here:

I think the term weck bottles / jars has become as general as, for example, a Maggi bottle or Luxaflex. I didn't know it was also a brand, but in the Netherlands that is very old and has to do with preserving food. My grandmother used to have cellars full of those pots! Once opened I don't think you could use them anymore, but I'm not sure. Very well-known products were also made in this way, such as Pickalilly.

The process of preserving is explained here . And to answer tapir: I don't see any pots in between, only the jam jar and I don't think that was it.

But thanks for the input World2014 and of course we hope you enjoy helping to complete and improve the CataWiki Catalog. Maybe your partner would like to keep their collection on this too?!

Please also report the incorrectly entered items on the forum so that administrators can get started. I think the salt shaker or salt shaker (I just don't think it's that big) looks good, because it can't be classified anywhere else, except other,
