One of the major majesties of my collection, here's a large Bakelite rootbeer button that's boasting a magnificent escutcheon, made of golden glass. The glass is cut into a highly reflective pattern that resembles a shield of bead-like jewels. Talk about a treasure! It's like this button fell out of a pirate chest. What's more, the Bakelite topside on this vulgar sensation is finely carved all the way around the border with fine lines. It's a hypnotic button and one of my absolute flashiest. c. 1940.
