Let's dive in! I've been posting "ocean buttons" all week and this one might be my very favorite. Glorious and dramatic, this chunky beast is a heavy coat button from the 1930's. Constructed of butterscotch Bakelite and carved into a wonderfully animated fish, this unusual gem is drenched in a golden shine and charged with that special heft that makes Bakelite so magical. This ends my week of marine-related buttons, but keep your eyes out for a dazzling leftover that I'm bound to share in the days ahead.
Oceans of peace,
