Vintage stock like this is sought after by furniture restorers, knife makers, pen turners and jewelry artisans, as well as collectors of mid-century design. A set of six matching Soviet bakelite door handles offers plenty of material for a restoration or creative project, or makes a beautiful display of vintage plastic in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e6 marbled bakelite rods (door handles)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
