Default Re: Case Polishing

I would say this is Bakelite, and I suspect it has been affected to long-term exposure to sunlight.

Our school science department had a dozen 300-series phones re-purposed as an internal intercom, and after 30-odd years in the sun, many of those had gone very pale.

You might be able to cheat by using woodstain, and/or boot polish.
