How's this for a mismatched pair of buttons? The button on the right is a huge coat button in a hearty red tone. As opposed to carved Bakelite, this button is pressed—with a tidy design going around the border. Exemplifying quite a size difference, the button at the left is Bakelite as well. An itty-bitty dab of bright orange juice, it could easily be mistaken for a vitamin C tablet. Both of these buttons were made in the 1920's. On a side note, I took this picture just as it began to rain...and hence the raindrops.
