Where do I begin? This massive button reminds me of the large hair barrettes that my mother used to wear in the 1970's. That said, this whopping beauty is a Bakelite button from the mid-1930's. The almost-black color is espresso brown with a rootbeer stripe that's sectioned off by a couple of brass threads. Most impressively, look at the pointed oval shape of this mighty find. The flowery carvings on both sides are exquisite. A humdinger if there ever was one.
