This hefty baby has only been in my collection for a month or two and I'm amazed by this buttery chunkster. The button is made of creamed corn Bakelite and likely goes back to the 1930's. What's more, the button is carved with some of the deepest gouges and folds I've ever come across in a Bakelite button. So marked and shapely are the sculpted areas that this button has the look of an overly dimpled mound of yellow clay. Finally, a light patina gives this old keepsake a dusty charm.
