Have you heard the story about the rabbit who picked a lock and stole a crown from a golden swan before tripping over a pineapple? Here's the illustration, presented as part of my week-long spotlight on figure buttons. The rabbit, in particular, was a hard guy to find. Another interesting detail about these buttons: Only the pineapples were made in rootbeer (tortoise) as this color doesn't appear in any of the other figure button shapes. I've always wondered why that's the case. Oh, the curiosities of old buttons! circa 1930.
