Collectible Things


Perfectly illustrating a carved Bakelite button, this creamed corn collectible could be the definitive example of a simple albeit nicely sculpted piece of the vintage plastic (c. 1925). Aside from Bakelite buttons, I also collect hippopotamus-shaped figurines, antique toys, original paintings, out-of-print books and Jazz Age sheet music, but it's the buttons that are by far the most addictive.
