Red and Red


What's redder, the border of this old button or the center section? Both colors are shades of red, but in my estimation the textured perimeter (with its design of pressed brickwork) is more of a maroon while the middle circle is almost a bright pinkish red. This two-tone button is made in the cookie-style and probably harks back to the early 1930's. Most importantly, this button tested positive for Bakelite.
