Bakelite magazine colors….

Since I started collecting I have always like the Bakelite “BW” magazines. Over the years I have noticed various colors in the mag bases, assumably due to inconsistent mixes in the process of making them. Here is a picture in normal lighting and one with a bright LED flashlight, as you can tell the brown ones really stand out with the LED. I really like the brown bases, two of them are on non marked mags the other is a regular FXO. Feel free to post pictures of yours as well!

Hi , once you have at least 25 posts you can post an add in the “want to buy “ section. But you can’t see it until you have 25 posts 😊

Have a fxo E/37 magazine in mint shape. The bottom is black. The price of this type of magazine is high nowadays.
