Nifty chocolate beams with an angular twist, these brown toggles entered my collection a few weeks ago after I found them in a tin full of buttons at a junk shop in Atchison, Kansas. After digging up the pair, I brought them over to the saleslady and she sold them to me for a quarter each. Is that a steal, or what? Fifty cents for these luscious logs. And here's the kicker: these toggle-buttons test positive for Bakelite! Will wonders never cease? Circa 1932.
