Here's an interesting trio of enormous sweater buttons from the 1920's or 30's in a color that's hard to identify. In my view, these are a brownish toffee tone when laid out in the daylight and more of a brownish green-apple indoors. They're also a bit more green looking in person, but that's Bakelite for you—often unwilling to be accurately photographed. What's more, these buttons are designed with wide, triangular buttonholes that look like hourglasses if not eyeholes on sinister masks.
All in all, a smart and hipstery set!
