Here's a Bakelite button that dreams of being a multifaceted gemstone. I found this cherry zinger in a pickle jar among hundreds of buttons at an antique shop in one of the New England states, I think New Hampshire. Anyway, when I saw this plastic ruby nestled in with all the other buttons, I just knew this shard of beauty was Bakelite and I was right. It tested positive with Simichrome polish.
