If only there'd been a bit more sunlight, I might've snapped the perfect picture of this shining green dream button in emerald Bakelite. Nine petals go around like stubby cogs with a raised layer in the middle that's etched for a rippled effect and then a tidily carved midpoint tops off this verdant rose. The clouds came out and darkened my photo session, but the gist of this pretty button is here. Circa 1926. This has been a week of Bakelite flower buttons with a fancy conclusion coming tomorrow...
