Irregular Rootbeer


Several months ago, I bought this large flower button from my friend Doreen, and am I glad I did so! The button is rootbeer Bakelite with uneven swirling that leans to the border's edges. The brownish patches, visible in this photo, run around the right side of the button with a few other splotches here and there. With the "rootbeer effect" not consistently dispersed, it's a fun button to study. circa 1930.
