Hobby lobby sells a variety of plastic mix, they even have crystal clear for knobs like on the sundial radios. The mix I have very closely resembles bakelite, you can even marble the color by lightly mixing/swirling the dye in last and when you have the dye mixed right you absolutely cannot tell which is the reproduction "unless you look at the shaft end"
