Dramatic Bakelite spheroids in bright red, these three buttons are on fire! The largest button here measures more than an inch across and take a look at that sensational swirling. We collectors of Bakelite call this marbleized color "creamed tomato" because of its resembles to the flavorful soup. In all seriousness, if Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ever loses his legendary snout, this button could be his prosthetic replacement. It is HUGE, electrifying and gloriously shiny. The smaller two buttons get honorable mentions too: a spruce-looking football and a baseball that's been given a decorative treatment of deep grooves. Going back to the 1920's, these ball buttons are Red-Hot!
