I would like to know what the color is of this vintage bakelite links bracelet is and what kind of value it may have or who can link me to someone who may know its value.
I have seen colors from orange to honey swirl orange to butterscotch and cannot tell what it is.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I would say its butterscotch. What a great piece I think if you listed it on Ebay it woul bring at least $100 and I think it would bring more but you never know with the buyers on Ebay! If you were going to buy this from a retail store or antique store you would have to pay at least $250. Hope this helps. Happy hunting!
Thanks for the reply...I thought it was butterscotch too!
Very nice piece!
Many thanks!
I like it too .We have all kinds of that stuff here. It is really in style now too.
Lovely bracelet and definitely butterscotch. Vintagemad's value estimate is about right too...
