Rootbeer Jawbreaker


Ouch! This major jawbreaker button in rootbeer Bakelite is absolutely humongous. I only have a few "ball buttons" in my collection that measure one inch across and this is one of them. Imagine a row of these bad boys running down a fur coat or a glitzy kimono. Truly sizable, this hardwearing globe sports a chiseled flower design that's loaded with patina. Even so, nothing is hindering this button's olden-day shine. Straight out of the 1920's.
