What's up, doc? Here's a real spruce button in the shape of a carrot and made of pure Bakelite. Etched with carroty dimples and painted green around the stem, it's a real charmer with a fun vibe. Best of all, this button is a brilliantly lustrous tone of orange that I don't find too often in my search for old Bakelite. A gleaming and cartoony dose of beta-carotene! This button was part of the "trinket jewelry" fad that peppered fashions throughout the 1940's.
