Bakelite+Wood #15


TRIANGLES! Aren't these the coolest? Mostly made of wood, the lower tips of these killer pyramids are cherry red and butterscotch Bakelite. I purchased these from a man who was housing an estate sale after the death of his grandmother in Rhode Island. As the estate coordinator, he decided to auction off some sewing items as a way of promoting the much larger sale of antiquated rugs and precious silverware. Anyway, these buttons were among the listed goods and I spent a small fortune on them. (Worth every penny!) These are from the 1940's and appear to have never been used.
