Cherry Castanets


Music-makers in bright cherry red Bakelite, these large buttons click and clack together like ideal percussive instruments. I love the sound Bakelite makes when buttons collide and that very specific "clink" comes out ideally in these two zingers from the 1920's. Total eye-candy, right? Carved and shining in a fantastic tone of red, these luscious beauties are as good-looking as they are musical.
