The handles are frequently identified as Bakelite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile some sets were produced in England (notably Sheffield), similar kits were also widely manufactured in Germany during this era. I cannot confirm that this is Bakelite or who the original maker is since there is no maker’s mark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shift2ThriftVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46009897320646,"sku":"Listing 003-April-2026","price":650.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2163\/2198\/files\/VintageManicureSet04.jpg?v=1782958083","url":"https:\/\/shift2thriftvintage.co.za\/products\/manicure-set-unbranded-cherry-red-7","provider":"Shift2ThriftVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
