Spotlighting this octagon-shaped button on Thanksgiving is a no-brainer. It's like a great big tart in a tone of raspberry Bakelite that's topped with a pattern of indentations to suggest a perfectly baked pie crust. A smattering of patina resting in the hollows of this checkered keepsake compliments its elderliness. On that note, this ripe old baby is a 90-year-old zinger. Made around 1927. Bon Appétit and happy holidays!
