Technically toggles, these massive buttons were fixtures on a fur coat in the 1920's or early 30's. Designed in the art deco style, they remind me of submarines with their cylindrical rotundity. Aside from the eye-catching stripes and the abundant glitter in the apple juice Bakelite, my favorite feature on these glamorous subs is the elongated, diamond-shaped top sections that protrude upwards. Totally lucking out, I found these buttons at an antique expo a few years ago in New York City.
