Trefoil Quintet


Here's five little "trefoil" buttons in a gleaming tone of black Bakelite. If I didn't know any better I'd chew these buttons upowing to their uncanny impression of licorice. Many moons ago, these nifty studs might've emblazoned a jacket from the 1930's or the early 40's. I can't say what's become of that jacket, but today these leftover buttons are running amok! Not to be confused with the common clover, the more rare and unusual trefoil is my favorite of all the button shapes.
