I'm no botanist, but this chocolate maple leaf is the apple of my button-collector's eye. The thing is huge and I was surprised to discover that it's indeed a button and not a dress clip or a brooch. Made of Bakelite and probably going back to the 1920's, a fastener of this size probably decorated some type of jacket and likely a very stylish one. I'm posting leaf-shaped buttons every day this week. This one's the very biggest by far.
