Let the tale be told of the mysterious hand that pet a dog, picked an acorn and then waved hello to a moth before stealing the hat off a black goose! Today's post finalizes my week of figure buttons—all made of Bakelite going back to the 1930's. A couple of buttons here warrant a little extra info. The hand is wrapped at the wrist in a tin bracelet. Many of the hand buttons were not made with the bracelets, but the adorned hands are more sought-after. I've posted three dog buttons this week. Pictured here is the rarest of the three, a cocker spaniel that doesn't come around too often. I have some gorgeous figure buttons in the shapes of strawberries that I'll be posting next year. Cheers!
