I'm in the mood for chocolate and here's just the thing—a big chocolate Bakelite button, topped with a bright gold escutcheon! Don't get too excited. It's brass. But what a marvel! I love the carved loops on the Bakelite and how the design is accentuated by the brass coils. It's as though this old button is crowned with a gilded serpent à la Medusa. From the 1930's.
