In her famously prosperous, antique-discovering escapades, my friend Doreen came across this button not very long ago and sold it to me through her shop of vintage finds.* Aside from its obvious red aspect, there's a hint of swirling in the Bakelite with a few strands of butterscotch that nearly escaped my eye upon first inspection. Red Bakelite with yellow swirling is sometimes called creamed tomato. Shape-wise, this button is reminiscent of a cog, but I like to think of it as a big cherry asterisk.
