Not your everyday button, here's something truly different. My good friend and go-to button dealer, Doreen, found this oddity, which is no surprise considering the many Bakelite anomalies she's sold me over the years I've been collecting. At any rate, this old chunk of plastic resembles a missing car part or some mechanical piece that fell out of a robot. The chocolate Bakelite is a bulky wave of five grooves—sided by brass attachments that are equally grooved. If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought this was a dress clip. But nope! This is a peculiar button from the 1930's.
