Evidence grade A — publication. The grade states the type of the source, not the truth of the claim.trKatalinarكاتالين

Short answer

The Turkish name for cast phenolic resin, taken from Catalin — a cast-phenolic brand registered in the United States in the 1920s (American Catalin Company, later Catalin Corp.), written “katalin” in Turkish. The brand denotes phenolic resin made by casting; that material is most often unfilled and transparent to translucent, but opaque grades and filled castings exist as well — “unfilled” and “transparent” are the common case, not a defining requirement. In the collectors' hierarchy of value it sits on the lower rungs, alongside “German gum” (sıkma) and the “bağa” type.
