The Inferno


Blazingly sinister, this terribly gorgeous button exudes a diabolical vibe that has me spellbound! It's a two-tone button with brightly polished orange juice Bakelite at rest on a mound of licorice Bakelite. The buttons is deeply carved for an ominous result. Look at the sea of fiery swirls that glisten in the strange contours of the sculpted OJ Bakelite. If this button were a ring, I'll bet it would fit perfectly on the devil's hand! Spooky and brimming with resplendent hellfire. Circa 1929.
