Renown in Brown


There are brown buttons and then there are brown buttons like this hot humdinger in a buffed hue of scrumptiously chocolate Bakelite. A large coat button from the 1920's, this dreamy chunk of vintage plastic boasts all the stamps of an ideal Bakelite button with curves to spare and a bumpy mound of interesting carvings that resemble a deep imprint of leaves. Most impressively, this decidedly perfect button scores a 10 out of 10 on its smooth and luscious shine. A sweet antique, worthy of applause.
