Popeye's Dinner!


"Creamed Spinach" Bakelite is on extraordinary display here with this absolutely hypnotic button. Swirls of yellow Bakelite permeate the green to create this weirdly hallucinatory effect. The Bakelite is backed up with a brass base, or a plate for what I'm calling Popeye's dinner. I have several other buttons in creamed corn spinach Bakelite, but none as perfectly vivid as this unusual specimen. It almost looks like the gaseous surface of a distant planet.
