Here's a studious looking button in brightly shined brass and a gorgeous slab of rootbeer Bakelite. The Bakelite is pinned to the rectangular metal foundation for a look that resembles a neatly framed shard of tortoise. Owing to the straps of brass that secure the Bakelite along the sides, the Bakelite appears to be shaped like a bow-tie (although it is not). Anyway, this tidy gem probably goes back to the 1940's. Considering its preppy vibe, I imagine it belonged to a spiffy jacket on a spiffy student. A collegiate relic!
