Petals to the Metal


Check it out! This black Bakelite flower button sports an escutcheon that's hammered into a rustic spheroid resembling a coppery-bronze golf ball. I don't actually know the make of the metal, but the petals are smoothly carved scoops that seem made for slicking ones thumbs in and out of. A chic button from the 1930's, this classy keepsake exudes simplicity and charm in equal measure.
