Photographing Bakelite can be tricky sometimes when you're trying to get the correct color across so that what's real matches up with the picture. This Bakelite button is a case in point. The color is an unusual shade of red with some tomatoey-orange thrown in for a scarlet and gently rusted tone. This may look like a plain old button, but in person this is a curious shade of red Bakelite. c. 1925.
