Its hard to believe but plastic has been
around for a long time. Plastic was first developed as an inexpensive substitute for
ivory. In 1868, a serious shortage of ivory prompted a New England manufacturer of ivory
billiard balls to offer a ten-thousand dollar prize for a suitable substitute. John Wesley
Hyatt met that challenge and won the prize with a product he christened Celluloid and
registered as a trademark in 1872, based on a British patent from the 1850s.
