Scaled Custard


And here we have a real prize. Made out of luscious Bakelite in the color known as custard, this radiant square was given a stylized treatment with a carved gouge running crisscross through the button and two sections that've been whittled into dramatic fish scales. A large button that goes back to the Great Depression, this very eye-catching piece is one glorious chunk of choice plastic.
