Afaik, the Admiral TV cabinets were the largest Bakelite objects ever manufactured. They had to be produced in precision polished molding dies in large high pressure hot presses, the finished product could have the moulding flash ground away, attempts at after-press polishing would ruin the high sheen the die polish presented.
