One of the sub-categories of Bakelite buttons is Bakelite buttons that incorporate elements of Lucite—a type of transparent plastic, which is related to Plexiglas. Usually the Bakelite portion of these buttons is black or tortoise; and on that note, here's a tortoise Bakelite button with a gorgeous Lucite centerpiece. As if looking through a kaleidoscope, the Lucite is resting over a metalized plate of fragmented stars. I don't collect buttons in this style, but since the tortoise section of the button is Bakelite, I purchased this one to round out my collection. That said, it's a beauty. circa 1940.
