800 Days of Buttons


Well, here we are at 800 button posts across more than three years of Bakelite button blogging and I have to say it's been a lot of fun. Am I finished yet? No siree! To celebrate today's big number, here's four transparent Bakelite (apple juice) buttons with an unusual carving on the undersides. The middle sections of these buttons also tested positive for Bakelite and they are chocolate brown, bright red, cranberry and a straightforward shade of green. These buttons came together, not as a set, but one button at a time until I realized I had a handsome quartet on my hands. They go back to the 1930's. Stay tuned for plenty more buttons and thanks for following my kooky old blog.
