Catalin is a phenol base synthetic resin - very close to Bakelite - and which originally was produced by the Catalin Company Corp, when the patent of Bakelite expired in 1927. The kown formula was widely imitated later and many small artisanal workshops started making that type of material, each adding its own "secret ingredients" but keeping the generic name. These beads are vintage beads which were carved some 40 + years and were part of an estate. The metal parts are new as well as the design.
