Looky here, button fans! This black Bakelite coat button (centered) from the 1930's is flanked by a hard-to-find pair of matching cape clasps! Stunningly carved, the patina-laced flower design with etched motif is entirely characteristic of the art deco style that I'm always ranting about. Still tailed with its original silver chain, at one time the clasps might've secured an opulent fur cloak on a dandy gent—or an uptown lady with so much class. Depression-era stuff at its finest.
