Black with Apple Juice Linings


Hello, friends! Bless my eyes; look what the cat dragged in! This button ascends from an apple juice base and then plateaus to a square-shaped top piece in shiny black Bakelite. The AJ section at the base tested positive for Bakelite as well. We've all heard of the sliver lining on a cloud, but here's an apple juice outline on licorice Bakelite. Carved and shapely, this gleaming beauty is so much more than a square. When was it made? This button likely goes back to the 1930's. A classic treasure.
