And also inside is the remnents of the centre which is wafer thin and always wanted to know if it is a rare thing? Thanks

    Assuming it's unfilled, then what a damned pleasing thing to own.
    I know very little about such items, but imagine it'd be an odd thing to fake.
    All Bakelite, yes? There are tests for Bakelite, which I'm not sure is fakeable, and places things in a certain date range.
