Antique Bakelite Letter Opener Marbled‎ Butterscotch Handle Art Deco Era Office

Antique letter opener featuring a curved steel and a richly marbled butterscotch Bakelite handle, dating to the Art Deco era (c. 1920s–1930s). The warm amber tones of the Bakelite are characteristic of early phenolic plastics from this period. The elongated, gently curved gives the piece a streamlined early-modern profile, making it both a functional desk tool and a decorative object.
