Something for Halloween


Happy Halloween! It's always fun choosing a holiday button and this oddity was a total no-brainer. One of the largest buttons in my collection, I found this button at an antique shop many years ago on a trip to Quebec City, Canada. Made in the 1930s, it's comprised of cupped orange Bakelite with a jagged-cut perimeter. Atop the orange bottom layer, the button holds a carved brown section that resembles a wooden leaf, though it also tested positive for Bakelite. It's not a spooky button, but it's definitely an amazing weirdo. Perhaps from a vintage Halloween costume?
