Bulletproof Jellyfish
This isn't the first time I've compared a button to a jellyfish, but this is the first time I've compared a button to a jellyfish that's sporting a metal breastplate. Apple juice Bakelite forms the body of this vintage curiosity, but what really sets this button apart is the swirled dome of armor that's secured to the Bakelite like a bulletproof parasol. Made in the 1930's, this ironclad delicacy is something else.
