Toggle Tuesday: Big Red


Probably the biggest toggle button that I own, this major shard of vintage Bakelite is bright red with a wraparound thing happening in some kind of metal. Overall, it looks like a block of cherry lipstick held captive in iron cuffs. Put a few of these on a lady's blouse in the year 1928 and that would've been a one heck of a stylish Louise. This lucky toggle hails from an antique shop in New England.
