Finalizing this week of buttons made of Bakelite combined with other forms of plastic, here's the grand showstopper. A large ball button in dark green Bakelite, the circumference has been wrapped eight times in a yellow, rubberized wire material. Tightly wound, this button remains in superb condition for what could've easily come unstrung since its construction in the 1940's.
To better depict this special find, I'm adding a second photo of me holding this button with the shank visibly poking through the pliable strands. And that's a wrap!
