BAKELITE
BRACELETS

circa 1930-1940’s


MAIDEN’s or CHILD’s BANGLES
I collect these small diameter 2-1/4" or smaller
bakelite bangles because they are just my size, and I am always in the
market for them. They are not easy to find, especially in matching
stacks. I use them as "stoppers" so that I can stack standard size
bangles on top and wear them without any risk of them falling off my
wrist. I also have some Shultz maiden sized bakelite bangles. I enjoy sharing and selling them
to others who need the smaller sizes.

brown maidens bangle, 2-1/4" by 5/8" by 3/16" walls.
This size is good for a slightly smaller hand and wrist than normal, normal
being 2-1/2" across. It is also a perfect stopper for smaller people, and
can be worn below larger bangle to hold them up. I wear this size and know
it can be difficult to find them.
