Bakelite smells of Formaldehyde when it's warm. The smell of old valve radio sets!
A lot of Baleklite is very collectible these days. One of the test for Bakelite is to rub it until it's warm and smell it.
You learn a lot on those daytime antique acution shows.
Perhaps Zero migh care to rub his door handles and give them a sniff and let us know the results.
