Nothing made of Bakelite is lost on me. Poured from a jar of random buttons that measure on the smaller side, here's three creamed corn buttons—all Bakelite and all going back to the twenties. The littlest button here is my favorite with its art deco contours like a toy spinner. The second largest buttons has a pressed design. These aren't the most spectacular examples of Bakelite buttons, but they're sweet old treasures and they look like they belong together. Total charmers.
