ABOUT GALALITH

Galalith is an early milk-based plastic similar to Bakelite or celluloid.  Developed in 1895 by a German chemist, it can be dyed in many colors, with swirls and patterns, and hand-carved.  This material went out of popular use after WWII due to the scarcity of milk. Galalith is often misdescribed as French bakelite.
