No, not if my memory serves me right.

Paxolin is the sort of stuff that tag boards and early printed circuit
boards were made of. I.e. it's brown and sort of laminated.

Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper, I think.


Bakolite is an early plastic that was used to make moulded items like
plugs etc. It's often dark brown but doesn't have to be, it's quite hard
and doesn't melt, it chars if you make it very hot and smells.
