Certain buttons are essential to a well-rounded collection of Bakelite goodies and in my opinion this is one of those crucial specimens. A large, distinctive and almost spiky-petaled flower with a bright creamed corn middle piece, this eye-catching stunner is made of 100% Bakelite—not sculpted or pressed, but cut and assembled into this dramatically striking design. I've seen this button in almost all of the standard Bakelite colors. Mine obviously is red. Of all my Bakelite flower buttons, this one's the pick of the bunch. From the 1930's.
