Acquired last year from my friend Doreen, here's a large showpiece in creamed corn Bakelite, or maybe more of a custard tone since it does lean toward a darker yellow. There's an old-fashioned and countrified vibe coming off of this heirloom that's reminiscent of an 1800's rural token with its elegantly carved crop of wheat and berries. Quaint and rustic are the words of the day here. I call this my prairie button since its pastoral motif evokes the Midwestern grasslands and hearty appeal of the Great Plains. c. 1930.
