A grand button all around, this two-tone wonder reminds me of planets moving into alignment with a chocolate moon getting ready to stand in front of a giant orange juice sun. If my button stash has a horoscope section, this pretty gem could be the center of the universe. Is Mercury in retrograde? The impactful simplicity of the geometric design is a fantastic example of art deco. This is a large coat button from the 1930's. Both colors tested positive for Bakelite.
