Smooth Decorator


Last year I posted a button similar to this one, but the middle spot was green. This one is bright red. Smooth and glassy, the red and apple juice areas both tested positive for Bakelite. The AJ border may very well be an example of Prystal Bakelite. What's certain is that once upon a time this old button decorated something with a perfectly charming effect. Circa 1930.
