Welcome aboard, friends! I'm posting sea-themed buttons all this week and here's Day Two of the adventure. What you see here is an old button made of radiant red Bakelite with a sparking intaglio at its center. As if looking through a telescope, you can watch a sailing vessel pass by on the tide—replete with wind in its sails. These intaglioed rarities are exquisitely pretty. I call them "window buttons" since they offer a small, framed glimpse of a dog or a boat or a horse. Thank you for looking at my collection and be sure to check back tomorrow for another seaside treasure.
