If I had to run into a burning building to rescue my Bakelite cookie buttons, this pair might be what I'd grab first. It's hard to choose favorites, but these two are right up there for me. I'm convinced that the green one can't be fairly photographed. It has to be studied in person to be fully believed with its outer-spacey border of lime juice swirls. The orange button is crimped, which I've never seen before and I wonder if this was the only crimped cookie that ever got made. Anyway, here they are, side by side: my hypothetical rescued-from-fire buttons.
