My understanding is that if it's bakelite, it should have a "formaldehyde" smell when heated (dipped in warm water or sometimes by rubbing/friction heat from your finger). If it has a sweet smell, it is most likely resin.
Also (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), isn't bakelite usually carved rather than etched?
