Crimped OJ


Last summer I visited my brother in Prescott, Arizona and found this pair of sunny treasures in a glass pickle jar filled with old buttons at an antique shop. These big beauties are made of orange juice Bakelite with oversized buttonholes and a pleated or crimped design that adds to their striking eye-appeal. Orange juice Bakelite smacks of brilliant swirling and these buttons are no exception. From the 1920's.
