Hold your horses! Last summer I got my hands on this dandy herd of buttons in rootbeer Bakelite. The brass escutcheons are fitted over the surfaces of each button and despite some tarnished spots, most of them are in pretty good condition. It's a mystery what type of clothing item these might've decorated once, but I see these buttons on the vest of a rootin'-tootin' cowboy circa 1925.
