Could it be the perfect Bakelite button? Here's a delightful specimen of creamed corn Bakelite with carvings and patnina that typify the Bakelite look. A dandy oval with a nice shine and plenty of interesting character, I'm calling this a lucky find circa 1924. This button hails from one of my treasure hunts in the Midwestern USA—gleaned from an antique shop in good old Kansas City!
