The Thanksgiving holidays are over this year and I'm ending the week with pie—literally in the form of baked food and literally again with this pie-shaped button made of Bakelite in the color known by collectors as creamed corn. Etched across the top in a checkered pattern, the carved dashes on this old button provide a deliciously eye-catching texture. It's like looking at a small-scale tart, fresh from the oven. Where pastry meets plastic, I'm sweet on this tasteful treasure. Circa 1932.
