Hiya, hepcats! I couldn't believe my luck when these two very large buttons entered my collection earlier this year. Together, they handsomely illustrate the hip style of the Jazz Age with their smart colors and almost-but-not-quite argyle pattern. At first glance, these might seem like a couple of two-tone buttons. Look again. While both have chocolate sections, each button's yellow pieces are differing shades—with creamed corn pictured here (on the left sides) and butterscotch (on the right). In light of their snazzy features, I'm nuts about these three-tone trendsetters of 1925. Added to their charm, these buttons tested positive for Bakelite.
