Several Years ago Carol Tannenbaum was to give a seminar at the Royal Ontario MUseum in Toronto. As a collector I had many pieces I would have liked her to give her opinion on but one piece per attendee was the rule. With my ticket purchased I had to think long and hard to decide which item I would take since I never did get rid of any vintage items I had. As the day approached I decided that I would take one of my favourite a four strand milk glass necklace with decorative ornament and it's matching wired bracelet. As the seminar progressed I waited in line for my turn to approach Ms. Tannenbaum and when I handed her the jewellery she held t in her hands and told me they were made in West Germany and dated to the early 1960's. To my surprise she looked at me and said that the brooch I was wearing was valuable and that it was French Carved Bakelite. I was very pleased I had two opinion instead of one. This brooch is now special and will sit in my collection and wait to be inherited.
