The Eclipse


I should've posted this button last week in celebration of the solar eclipse that had the whole country putting on cardboard spectacles. This Bakelite burst of sunshine is an eclipse all by itself with half of the button seeming to overlap with the other in a contest of textures. Dating back to the 1930's, this brightly swirled majesty is a classic example of orange juice Bakelite.
