My dream job in the 1930's would've been to work in a Bakelite button factory. I think about that sometimes when I see a button like this that almost resembles an experiment. This big coat button is half black Bakelite and half apple juice Bakelite with spruce carvings running evenly all over the place. A bit scuffed and dingy, this button has seen better days. But what a cool find! circa 1935.
