French Bakelite. Made of milk proteins. Does not test like Bakelite.

Galalith, which name originates from Greek "gala" (milk) and "lithos" (stone) was first discovered by the German Carl Kunth in 1890's by chemical reactions on milk protein. It is described as an early form of plastic but is dissimilar from bakelite. Due to its physical properties it is easy to color, and therefore has been used in the manufacture of items such buttons and experimental Arte Deco jewelry by companies, in particular Jakob Bengel.
