Aren't these an interesting pair of buttons? Major oldies going back to the 1930's, this duo is made of creamed corn Bakelite and wow are they carved! The deeply cut design resembles the plumage plucked off of some very yellow birds. Biggish buttons, wouldn't these have looked spectacular on Claudette Colbert's overcoat? (A fine actress. I just watched her and Clark Gable in the screwball comedy, It Happened One Night, circa 1934). Pardon the smudging. These dirty birds are about to get a long, hot bath.
